Pakistan: Gujral condemns arrests
Special Correspondent
CHENNAI: The former Prime Minister and chairperson of the South Asians for Human Rights (SAHR), I.K. Gujral has condemned the detention of two SAHR members during the large-scale arrests that followed the clamping of Emergency rule in Pakistan.
In a statement deploring the arrest of political activists, lawyers and human rights activists, including prominent SAHR members I.A. Rehman and Asma Jahangir, Mr. Gujral demanded the immediate revocation of Emergency rule as it “flies in the face of democratic values.”
Condemning the “blatant interference and intimidation” of the judiciary, Mr. Gujral urged the democratic governments, the international community and NGOs to persuade the rulers of Pakistan to desist from all actions that violated norms of democracy and human rights and restore Pakistan to the rule of law.
