Raymond Davis Case: Developing Story

[ares]

US govt is on the record claiming that Raymond Davis has diplomatic immunity..now either Pakistani foreign office should either come out and contradict US govt in unequivocal terms or continued arrest of Raymond Davis is in illegal action on Pakistan's behalf.

But please do not take it upon yourself to interpret the international law...leave it to the experts.

And how much are you willing to pay in taxes to make up for lost U.S. aid and international loans?

And same old yankee looser is back to support his terrorist countryman...shame on you.

Ask US to show his immunity-- they definately got to have some official papers--

Quick question before i can comment further--
Tell me how a technical and administrative staff member can have full diplomatic immunity? back it up--

My point is that he has a diplomatic passport. If US wishes, in the worst case, they can create documents any time fulfilling the requirements for immunity. And they publicly insist that he has complete immunity. They went all in with their cards. So this means he will get immunity now if not already. Besides Davis seemed to be an important person for USA too.

Yes i have a problem with that-- ADMINISTRATIVE & TECHNICAL STAFF can be prosecuted as per my sources--

So why YOUR OWN LINK says - NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Q: Are foreign diplomats immune from prosecution for crimes they commit in the US?
A: Diplomats are not subject to prosecution for crimes they commit in the country in which they are stationed. This is the general rule followed by most countries in the world, not just the US. The country in which the crime is committed is usually limited to ordering the offending diplomat to leave the country.

The courts will have the final say in this--

No, SIR! The issue was decided when Davis' credentials were accepted (Article 39) and all business regarding him is a matter for the Foreign Office. His immunity is never prejudiced and a Pakistani court has no jurisdiction over his person. He can't legally be held in prison.

As immunity is provided by the host state ..it is their responsibility to prove that the said person does/does not have immunity.
All US embassy can do is claim diplomatic immunity from the Pakistani govt for the said person..which they already did on the second day of the incident.

he gave up his legal rights when he carried and operated (on his person) a firearm which he was unauthorized to be using.......the other 'suspects' (who are still at large, thanks to the non-cooperation of the Ally country) enaged in hit & run --which killed a civilian.


you have a lot of nerve

Of course David have immunity-- but as a member of technical and administrative staff-- he is not immune to murder-- thats a fact-- US cannot fake papers which will negate Vienna convention--giving him full immunity-- sorry cant happen--


Pakistan foreign office grants immunity-- if US does fake it-- the matter will go to court again-- in the end Pakistani court has the final say in this fiasco--

and the threatening behavior USA has resort to -- further proves his non immune status--

Pakistani Diplomat to Nepal was caught with 16 KG of RDX.. but that did not prevent Pakistan from claiming diplomatic immunity for him, so why the hypocrisy?

 

[illuzioN]

why do pakistan people hate us so much?

 

[Imran Khan]

GOOD NEWS please now take your diplomatic mission from pakistan and kick haqani's @ss from there

And how much are you willing to pay in taxes to make up for lost U.S. aid and international loans?

And all those unconditional loans?

 

[Solomon2]

And all those unconditional loans?

Without diplomats, how are these supposed to be administered?
