The recent draconian punishments handed down to advocates Imaan Mazari and Hadi Ali Chatha have ignited fierce outrage, exposing the shameless corruption and blatant misuse of justice by those in power.
Supreme Court Bar President Haroon Rashid shockingly declared, “We have no connection with the lawyers who were punished. They received the proper punishment.” Yet, when questioned by journalist Matiullah Jan about the case details, Rashid admitted he had no idea. This reveals the grotesque hypocrisy top legal figures blindly endorse verdicts they know nothing about, simply toeing the establishment’s line.
The trial of Mazari and Chattha was a blatant mockery of justice nothing more than a scripted show aimed at intimidating dissent. Key figures within the bar and judiciary, including judges and lawyers, are being used as pawns by the establishment to crush opposition and silence voices of truth.
Legal analysts warn that this orchestrated crackdown is destroying public trust in the judiciary, exposing it as a tool of suppression rather than a pillar of justice. This blatant assault on legal rights is a betrayal of the nation’s core principles and a terrifying sign that judicial independence in Pakistan is dead.
