A Peshawar High Court (PHC) bench on Wednesday barred the government from releasing former Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) spokesperson Ehsanullah Ehsan, asking that authorities continue investigating the former militant.

The decision was taken by a two-member bench of the court headed by PHC Chief Justice Yahya Afridi. The bench has been hearing a writ petition filed by Fazal Khan, father of a student killed in the December 16, 2014 Army Public School attack.

The petitioner believes that the government is planning to give clemency to the ex-militant, who is reportedly in the custody of security agencies.

The directive was issued after the federal government submitted a second report about Ehsan's incarceration, but failed to not satisfy the court.

In its written reply, the government had stated that it was still investigating Ehsan. Telling the government to continue its probe, the court forbade his release on any grounds.

Ehsanullah Ehsan, who had been associated with TTP and later its splinter group, the Jamaatul Ahrar (JuA), reportedly turned himself in earlier this year.

Apprehensions regarding a possible pardon for and release of Ehsan were raised after his interviews to local media were released and aired.

Observers had asked why authorities deemed it okay to allow the representative of one of the most notorious terrorist groups space on national media.

Good on the court - the only way he should be released is when he is taken down from a noose for burial.

Pakistani Govt do not fail to amaze. These actions raise the question, where their loyalties are. Is this part of Quiet Diplomacy or cross border cooperation as TTP is based in Afg and attacking Pakistan.

How a well known and who admitted his terrorism can be release? which Law, loop hole, or a$$ H@le.......

There is no news of a deal for his release. This petition was submitted by a Peshawar attack victim who was worried that his public confession might lead to pardon.

Good decision and timely intervention by the court. He has to be prosecuted and punished for his crimes. Law has to take its own course.

 

[undercover JIX]

All terrorists should and must be hanged, including captured monkey. why there is any confusion.

 

[Big Tank]

So now, this slaughterer of our Innocent kids is going to be released or possibly being treated as a Brothe in Law into the Custody. Just put this bastard within a charged crowd so we can mutilate his body which later must be shown worldwide.

 

[Enigma_]

So he surrendered on the basis that he be released after he confessed? Didn't read the fine print then - released to hell. Rot you barbaric scum.

 

[somebozo]

He shouldnt be released alive and dead ehsanullah is more dangerous than alive..
He should be hanged in secret and his body dissolved in acid and liquidated in sewer.
