ISLAMABAD - PTI Central Vice President and in-charge Foreign and Security Policy, Dr Shireen Mazari, Wednesday condemned the Foreign Office of Pakistan and the United States for keeping over 32 Pakistanis incarcerated without trial at Bagram airbase in Afghanistan.
Addressing a press conference at National Press Club, she stated that this was part of the tragic saga of missing Pakistanis in which the state has been a wilful collaborator. She stressed the issue was not one of innocence or guilt but of giving every citizen the right to due process of law - be it the normal criminal law of the land or anti-terror laws. But to simply make people "disappear" or allow them to be held by an external power without trial or sentencing is simply not acceptable.
