Resolution
Moved by Senator Prof. Khurshid Ahmed
as consensus resolution
The Senate of Pakistan expresses its
deep concern over the issue of missing persons, involving persistent violation
of Articles 9 and 10 of the Constitution. While acts of terrorism or subversion
are unforgivable, even citizen is innocent till proved guilty through due
process of law. The abduction, arbitrary lifting and forced disappearance of
any human being is illegal and intolerable in a civilized society. The Supreme
Court of Pakistan has also taken serious note of this situation which has
assumed serious proportions in the country, particularly in Balochistan, Karachi
The Senate resolves that the Federal
and Provincial governments should take immediate and effective steps to ensure
the speedy recovery and release of all such persons, except those who are
charged under the law of the land for any offence.
The Senate also demands that detailed
report in this respect should be presented to the House as early as possible.
