[BoseDK]

Good arrangement. the families will have a good living standard in US.

WHat kind of a shameless statement is that? Would you like your family members having a good living standard in the US at the cost of your another family members life? Pathetic

 

[Abu Basit]

How can you say that Whole Pakistan ...??? you may not aware of ground realities .....suppose if it is true then he was released long time ago....

yeah not the whole Pakistan but politicians, generals, media all sold out bunch of traitors.

 

[Awesome]

Just shut up and off... thats all I can say about your above written post... If some one wrongly used a good thing that doesn't mean that good thing beceomes bad... this is a problem with you liberal fascists you people have no respect for others feelings you just utter your crap anywhere and at any topic even if you have no clue about the topic...

Use your brains there can be no forgiving a person for murder! Blood money makes sense for someone you kill in an accident. Laws should not be so easy to abuse, our laws truly have today shown that we are 2 dollar hos.

Bow to your American masters

It does ring a bell. A big one. That wasn't how a self respecting nation should've acted, India was weak then.

I may troll sometimes here, but this incident reminds of how India was. You shouldn't follow our mistakes

It was 1984 .
India was a pure 3rd world country that time .
We were very weak tht time .

This is 2011 not 1984 .
Comparing RD case with Bhopal tragedy is baseless

Court frees CIA contractor accused of murder: Rana SanaullahAgencies (1 hour ago) Today




ISLAMABAD: A Pakistan court on Wednesday freed CIA contractor Raymond Davis, who was accused of murdering two men in Lahore, after blood money was paid in accordance with sharia law, the Punjab Law Minister Rana Sanaullah said.

“The family members of the slain men appeared in the court and independently verified they had pardoned him (Davis),” provincial law minister Rana Sanaullah told a private television.

“He has been released from jail. Now it is up to him. He can go wherever he wants,” he added.

The lawyer representing the victims, Asad Manzoor Butt, said he was not allowed to appear for the hearing. The lawyer alleged that Davis possibly escaped from the prison with the consent of the authorities, DawnNews reported.

The lawyer further claimed that he was kept in unlawful confinement, according to DawnNews.

PML-N spokesman Pervez Rasheed the Punjab government was not involved in the release of Davis, DawnNews reported.

Moreover, Ayesha, the sister of Shumaila Kanwal, the wife of victim Faheem Ahmed, said “we are not aware of any such settlement and we did not opt for any…we want justice.”

“They confined us in the jail for four hours and did not allow us to take part in the court proceedings. We were not allowed to leave the prison,” one of the lawyers, Asad Manzoor Butt, told AFP.

Butt said the families of the men had agreed with authorities to accept blood money over the deaths the previous night.

Another laywer for the families, Nauman Atiq, confirmed that the lawyers had been held at the court and told not to speak to media.

Blood money, or “diyya” is a provision under Islamic sharia law in which compensation can be paid to relatives of those killed to secure a pardon, and is commonly used to resolve such cases in Pakistan.

The January shooting ruptured diplomatic relations with the United States, who repeatedly insisted Davis was an embassy employee and enjoyed diplomatic immunity, particularly after it emerged he was working for the CIA.

A spokesman for the US embassy in Islamabad said he could not immediately confirm the report.

The Davis case had sparked protests in Pakistan, with religious groups angrily denouncing the American who claimed he acted in self-defence to fend off an armed robbery when he shot dead the two men.

US authorities insisted Davis was protected by full diplomatic immunity, but the Pakistan government refused to back that claim and a decision on his status was on Monday deferred by the Lahore high court for criminal judges to decide.

Revelations that Davis was a CIA contractor heaped pressure on Pakistan’s embattled government and further ramped up burning public mistrust of Washington, damaging fragile relations between the two wary allies.

A third Pakistani was struck down and killed by a US diplomatic vehicle that came to Davis’ assistance in the January incident.

US officials denied Pakistan access to the vehicle, and the occupants are widely believed to have left the country.

Police have said they recovered a Glock pistol, four loaded magazines, a GPS navigation system and a small telescope from Davis’ car after the January 27 shooting.

The United States postponed a round of high-level talks with Afghanistan and Pakistan following failed attempts to free Davis, and US lawmakers threatened to cut payments to Pakistan unless he is released.

[sodocpkgj]

Hi everyone. I actually could have sworn that i love pakistan more than anything but gotta say today i lost faith in pakistani people, its government once again let us down so yes, pakistan is a country where people sell their dignity for dollars, they sell their dauhters, mothers, but above all they sold their nation for a few dollars, nothing close to what my beautiful land is worth. I was hoping that Pakistan stands behind the families of people who got murdered, but its the families that turn away. At some point pakistani people will need to realise how selfish and ignorant they are, its not just about them, its about the entire country? Itihad? iman? tanzeem? yeah right. We re so lost in our own issues that our enemy has control of our roots now. That was their plan and thanks to pakistani people, they succeeded. Civil wars, social problems, ethnic violence, religous conflicts all were started by our very enemy just for them to take control of us, and today they succeeded. We dont need f-16s? we dont nee nuclear weapons? these materialistic thing dont mean when we are at war within? a muslims strongest weapon is takbir? iman? faith? 3 things pakistani people are two selfish to consider.
I love Pakistan to death, i would do anything for it but i lost my faith in Pakistani people.

American the devil at policy level for attacking other countries. Sir as far as these individuals are concerned who had been given US visas and citizenship , i personally feel its good for them keeping in view the living standard.

Basically we need to see how this diplomatic system and agent system works ..... all the Visas issued by puppet gov in Musharaf era are now sorted out by ISI thats the inside news

And the price is being paid by nation in terms or 3 people killed, but on bright side 55 under-covered CIA agents get exposed and left Pakistan in this time.....

Also when you get capture any agents you just get the best out of him in terms of information as exposed agent is like a dead man for being agent any more... and all these 55 agents who left Pakistan are now exposed CIA agents: )

i hope you understand the point here.... if you cant kill a snake due to its power than make sure it dose not comes near your establishment and thats what ISI did with these 55 agents.....

 

[BoseDK]

does Bhopal Tragedy ring a bell ??
Oh pleaseeeeeee Indians are the last people to speak about dignity and honour specially keeping in view your soft stand towards Americans over Bhopal tragedy

Jana mohtarma, Beware, you cannot defend this. Remember the fake wiki leaks thread?

 

[Solomon2]

Like the trial of Dr Afia ?

Yes, it would have been like the Afia trial but with Davis as defendant.

 

[LeGenD]

Not likely sir. we had extracted as much info as we could have.

its a good step

And what information has been extracted from him? How many illegal CIA officials have been busted from the information he provided? According to ISI, hundreds of illegal (unidentified) CIA agents are lurking inside Pakistan.

Interrogators have clearly pointed out that this guy is a professional and he refused to cooperate at any level. He did not even accepted the charge sheet against him.

Do not presume too much on these matters.

 

[DelhiDareDevil]

Would of Pakistan have allowed to this to happen if he was a different nationality?

 

[Roybot]

I donno all this blood money stuff makes this issue look even worse, it would have been more dignified if the family had just pardoned him if thats what they had to do. One less thing to talk about now. I hope there is no backlash.

 

[SAUD-404]

I mean come on im shocked by this news how can some middle class families sell there sons just to get american visas people these families should be killed, there is absolutely no national pride in them those three who were killed by that SOB Davis were our brother too and we felt sad for them and wanted revange

 

[Jinnah]

How can you say that Whole Pakistan ...??? you may not aware of ground realities .....suppose if it is true then he was released long time ago....

No, Furd-e-guram lagane ke baad hi , blood money li ja sakti he
aur fard-e-guram aaj hi lagi thi raymond pe
