By Justice Markandey Katju
Dr Sajida
Amin, a Pakistani settled in Australia ( email : drsinayat@gmail.com) & I,
Justice Katju, former Judge of the Indian Supreme Court ( email :
justicekatju@gmail.com) have decided to set up a People's International
Tribunal regarding atrocities on the people of Pakistan and violation of their
human rights ( including denial of the right of free and fair elections to them
), modelled on the lines of the Bertrand Russell People's International
Tribunals on atrocities in Vietnam, Palestine etc. set up by the eminent Britishphilosopher and mathematician Bertrand Russell.
We will have eminent people as the Judges from various walks of life.
The accused,
to whom notices will be issued giving them opportunity of defence through
counsel, will be the Pakistan army chief Gen Munir and all Corps Commanders and
Principal Staff Officers of the Pakistan army, leaders of the PMLN and the PPP, Chief Justice of Pakistan Qâzi Faez Isa and
other Judges of the Pakistan Supreme Court and High Courts who have violated
their solemn oath of office and have shamelessly become henchmen and Judge
Jeffreys of the Pakistan Establishment, etc
The sessions
will be online. Witnesses' evidence and counsels' arguments will be online.
Please
contact us if you are interested in helping us in any way, including any
suggestions to make the hearings of the People's Tribunal effective.
(Justice
Katju is a retired judge of the Supreme Court of India. These are his personal
views.)
