LHC CJ takes notice of alleged torture on Dasti

LAHORE: Chief Justice Lahore High Court Syed Mansoor Ali Shah, taking notice of alleged torture on MNA Jamshed Dasti has directed the judge of the anti-terrorism court and sessions judge Sargodha to visit the jail today (Friday) and submit a report.

The district and sessions judge said that he will visit Dasti’s cell within two days and if there are any facilities unavailable action will be taken against jail authorities.

Parliamentarian Jamshed Dasti had complained of severe torture and starvation in the prison, asking the chief justice of Pakistan to take notice of his ‘ordeal’.

In a video which went viral on social media on Thursday, Dasti pleaded for help through the grilled windows of a prison vehicle.

The chairman of the Pakistan Awami Raj party was arrested for allegedly instigating people to open the sluice gate at Kalu headworks channel to release water in Dinga minor, Muzaffargarh canal.

Irrigation officials had warned the MNA against opening the gate that had been closed for many months due to litigation. However, Dasti stated that he released water to facilitate the farmers who had been complaining of water shortage.

Meanwhile, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan criticised the government for resorting to ‘dictatorial’ tactics in handling Dasti’s case.

“Those shedding tears on appearance before the joint investigation team (JIT) investigating the Panamagate case shamelessly use force on [political] rivals,” Imran said in a statement.

Disgusting! Fascism of Sharifs as they carry forward their political godfather Zia's dictatorial legacy while feigning sincerity

“Members of the Sharif family involved in crimes of heinous nature raise a hue and cry when they appear before the JIT,” he added.

Imran said “use of violence on Jamshed Dasti behind bars is atrocious and shameless.” He went on to add that the Sharif brothers during their tenure were using the tools of dictatorship. “Zia, the mentor and guardian of Sharifs, used force on his political rivals in the same way,” he said.

The Sharif brothers should not think they would not be accountable for their act of tyranny, he said and demanded that ‘torture on Dasti’ be stopped forthwith and measures be taken for his release.

Awami Raj Party MNA Jamshed Ahmed Dasti, who was remanded for six days to police custody on June 23, has alleged that he is being tortured and starved by police in Multan Central Jail.

In a disturbing video broadcast Thursday, Dasti could be seen apparently breaking down and pleading for help through the grilled windows of a prison vehicle.

The seemingly agitated Dasti claimed that he had been severely beaten by police and deprived of food for six days, and that rats and scorpions were often released into his jail cell as a means of torturing him.

"As soon as I got out of jail, they caught me again," the MNA added, referring to the events preceding his arrest.

Last week, Dasti had been arrested by police minutes before he was scheduled to be released from Multan Central Jail after an Anti-Terrorism Court approved his bail application in a different case.

A Muzaffargarh police team had arrested Dasti in a case Civil Lines police had registered against him back in his hometown.

Additional District and Sessions Judge Shahbaz Ahmed had allowed six-day judicial remand of the accused.

Dasti alleged that he had been framed and false cases had been registered against him. "I am not at fault, I am a poor man. They drag me and beat me," he added.

Appealing to the CJP to take notice of his ill-treatment, Dasti added that his sister was battling with stage three cancer and his mother, too, was unwell.

"They have tortured me so much ... I have not been able to sleep for five days," he said.

"This is a democracy, we are no longer under the rule of [Gen Parvez] Musharraf. Take suo motu notice and call me [to court]," Dasti said, addressing the CJP and Lahore High Court Chief Justice Syed Mansoor Ali Shah.

Imran Khan criticises government

Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf chairman Imran Khan has criticised the government for Jamshed Dasti's mistreatment in prison and demanded that steps be taken to release the MNA.

"The torment of Jamshed Dasti in prison is shameful and cruel," Khan said in an official statement issued by the party.

"Steps should be taken to stop this abuse against Jamshed Dasti and work towards his release," he added.

Khan also tweeted his condemnation. "Disgusting! Fascism of Sharifs as they carry forward their political godfather Zia's dictatorial legacy while feigning sincerity," he said in a tweet.
