CJ Iftikhar Chaudhry continued harassment and abusing of NAB officials led to Kamran Faisal’s suicide. We demand thatCJ Chaudhry be prosecuted for causing unbearable stress to Kamran Faisal leading to his suicide. Right-wing pro-establishment media too contributed to Kamran Faisa’s death. Let me explain.
For the last two week there has been drumming by media how government severed the two investigators from rental cases on the pretext of contempt notices but real motives being obstruction of instigations/justice. This was also the narrative of Pakistan’s pro-Taliban anti-democracy Chief Justice Iftikhar Chaudhry in both of his orders dated 15th and 17th of this month (links below).
Now we know the unfortunate death of one investigator Kamran Afzal. Before today (19 January 2013), media never mentioned that Kamran Afzal had himself asked that he be removed from investigations because of severe mental stress. He sent his application on November 13th and he was removed on Jan, 7th.
So far neither media nor honorable court had mentioned that Kamran Afzal had himself asked the removal. Before today only narrative by both judges and journos has be that a wicked government removed them just because they were close to the catching the culprits.

to me I am convinced that the attitude of chief justice with Kamran is one of major contributory factor in his tragic death. CJ generally found using insulting attitude with the high profile officials and put them under severe stress.
