(New York) – Pakistan’s federal and provincial governments should bring to justice those responsible for the May 2010 attacks on Ahmadiyya mosques that killed 94 worshipers, Human Rights Watch said today.
On May 28, 2010, Islamist militants attacked two Ahmadiyya mosques in the city of Lahore with guns, grenades, and suicide bombs, killing 94 people and wounding well over 100. The Punjabi Taliban, a local affiliate of Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (the Pakistani Taliban or TTP), claimed responsibility. Two men were captured during the attack, but the government has failed to make progress on their trial, seeking repeated adjournments from the court as has the defense.
“It’s obscene that two years after the worst massacre in Lahore since the partition of India, the government has still not brought the suspects apprehended at the scene to trial,” said Brad Adams, Asia director at Human Rights Watch. “By pandering to extremists who foment violence against the Ahmadis, the government emboldens militants who target the beleaguered community, and reinforces fear and insecurity for all religious minorities.”

Since Pakistan Government has different standards of justice for Ahmadiyya Community as such nothing will come out. Suo Motu of SC are alos applicable to all except Ahmadiyya.
Expecting that the culprits responsible for the heinous and barbaric acts at Lahore Ahmadiyya mosques would be brought to justice and punished, from the current state of Pakistan, is like a dream that never may come true.So our ball is in the court of Allah Ta’ala.And surely Allah Ta’ala is enough for Ahmadis.
well put Khalid. i am just curious is there a COURT OF LAW IN PAKISTAN? or maybe the Judges are too busy playing golf….
Pakistan is heading the same way as Somalia – total and utter lawlessness despite there being in Pakistan’s case a supposed government… and one hopes judicial bodies.
But, as Khalid Sb said, Allah is the best JUDGE! And while His Mill grinds slow, it grinds SURE. For if they don’t repent and apply Justice, they will not know what hit them when it does, Insha’Allah!
