مارچ ماما مارچ – محمد حنیف

محترم ماما عبدالقدیر بلوچ صاحب: میں گمشدہ افراد کی بازیابی کے لیے آپ کے لانگ مارچ کی حمایت کرتا ہوں اِس لیے نہیں کہ اِس پُر امن، شاندار اور تاریخی لانگ مارچ کے نتیجے میں آپ کے بیٹے جلیل ریکی کے قاتل پھانسی پر جھولیں گے یا فرزانہ مجید کا بھائی ذاکر مجید فوری طور پر رہا ہو جائے گا۔اس لیے بھی نہیں کہ آپ کے منتخب وزیراعلیٰ ڈاکٹر مالک صاحب کو آپ کا خیال آ جائے گا۔ وہ پہلے ہی یہ کہہ کے اپنا فرض ادا کر چکے ہیں کہ آپ اور آپ جیسے دوسرے خاندان جو اپنے بچوں کی تلاش میں ہیں اُن کا مداوا اُن کے پاس نہیں۔

میں آپ کے لانگ مارچ کی حمایت اِس لیے کرتا ہوں کہ یہ طویل مارچ ہے۔

The UN’s FSC has cautioned in a report that another disaster is in the making, as the majority of the Awaran earthquake survivors are facing an acute food shortage

On October 21, the Strasbourg-based European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR), in the Inés del Río Prada detention case, found Spain guilty of breach of convention, and termed its ‘Parot doctrine’ illegal. Prada, sentenced to 3,828 years in jail in 1987, was denied release in 2008 under the Parot doctrine. It was adopted by Spain’s Supreme Court in 2006 to restrict ‘Euskadi Ta Askatasuna’ (ETA), i.e. Basque Homeland and Freedom prisoners’ entitlement to early release and other benefits. It is named after Unai Parot, a convicted ETA member, who was the first to see his prison penalty extended. This doctrine ensures that the remission for work done in prison is deducted from the total sentence, rather than the Spanish law’s 30-year limit.
