Texy Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 MULTAN: Human Rights Advocate Rashid Rehman Khan was gunned down by unidentified attackers in Multan, DawnNews reported late on Wednesday night. Sources told Dawn.com that two clean-shaven young men barged into Advocate Khan's office and shot him dead. They also injured his two lawyer friends, identified as Nadeem Parwaz and Afzal. Injured were taken to Nishtar Medical Center where Parwaz is said to be in a critical condition. Advocate Rashid Rehman Khan was a coordinator for the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan (HRCP). The senior lawyer was defending a university lecturer accused of blasphemy and had complained that he had been receiving threats on his life. The HRCP had voiced serious concern over the threats extended to Khan. The Supreme Court advocate had submitted an application with the District Bar Association president Sher Zaman Qureshi last month, saying he was threatened by two lawyers and two other persons who asked him not to appear in the case he was representing. Rehman was representing Junaid Hafeez, a lecturer at Bahauddin Zakariya University. Hafeez was known for his liberal views at the university and the case of blasphemy was registered after pressure from right-wing student groups, said a student, who wished not to be named. Pakistan has strict laws against defaming Islam, including the death penalty for blasphemy, and rights campaigners say they are often used to settle personal disputes. A recent report from a US government advisory panel said Pakistan used blasphemy laws more than any other country in the world, listing 14 people on death row and 19 others serving life sentences for insulting Islam. SOURCE Even the founder of Pakistan would've been ashamed seeing what this country has become and where it is going to be in the future.

surajmal Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 Liberal Paki is an oxymoron. There is a green Paki and then there is a greener Paki.
ravishingravi Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 Liberal Paki is an oxymoron. There is a green Paki and then there is a greener Paki. Yup. Grass is definitely greener on the other side. But there are liberals there. Few of them.
panther Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 Pakistan people in general have done well to fight off the challenge from the liberal media after 9/11, a war they have definitely lost.
