Citing security reason, the Director General (DG) of the Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) Lieutenant-General Zaheer-ul-Islam did not appear before the Islamabad High Court (IHC) on April 2 in a missing person case, reports Dawn. The IHC, however, disposed off the matter after the spy agency denied the custody of the missing man. Justice Riaz Ahmed Khan of the IHC on March 24, 2014 had directed the DG ISI, Zaheerul Islam, to personally appear before the court in a petition filed by Parveen Bibi, the spouse of Mohammad Arif, who was picked up from December 17, 2013 from Khushab District in Punjab Province. Before being picked up, Mohammad Arif, a former activist of Jama’at-e-Islami (JeI), was running a printing press and private schools in Rawalpindi District. However, DG ISI, in an affidavit submitted to the IHC, denied the custody of the missing men. Additional Attorney General (AAG) Tariq Mehmood Khokar submitted an application on behalf of the ISI seeking exemption of the DG from appearance. In the application the spy agency contended: “For operational security and secrecy reasons his (DG ISI) whereabouts are kept classified.” The application also stated that the “DG ISI is not in Islamabad on the date fixed for the hearing of the matter. It further said that the DG of the spy agency was not “the relevant officer in the matter in question”. Justice Khan expressed annoyance over the lethargy of the spy agency in dealing with the court. He said: “It was not our desire to summon the DG ISI but the conduct of the dealing officials was tantamount to making a mockery of the courts.” “A person files the petition for the recovery of his relative and the dealing official instead of submitting report suggests the court for adjourning the proceedings for 6 weeks” he said. “It was an insult for the judiciary” he added. However, Colonel Fayyaz, Deputy Director Legal of the ISI tendered an apology before the court.

The two judge bench in the Supreme Court, headed by Justice Nasirul Mulk, during the hearing of the Balochistan target killing case on April 15 directed the Defence Ministry to submit a report on the steps taken by military authorities for the trial of army officials involved in the Baloch ‘missing’ persons’ cases, reports The Express Tribune.

In the case of 35 persons, who went missing from Army’s internment centre in Malakand Fort of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, the Federal Government on April 16 submitted a statement in the Supreme Court suggesting that the main accused, a junior Army officer, identified as Naib Subedar Amanullah Baig, would be court martialed under the Pakistan Army Act (PAA) 1952, reports Dawn. Deputy Attorney General (DAG) Waqas Dar submitted a one-page statement on behalf of the Defence Ministry, informing the court that the main accused was a serving member of the Armed forces and subject to punishment under the PAA. In accordance with the court’s directions, the statement explained, the Malakand District Coordination Officer (DCO) was approached to settle the criminal case against the soldier, registered at the Malakand Levy Post. Jurisdiction over the accused was then shifted to army authorities for investigation and trial under the Army Act. Justice Khawaja observed, “This amounts to closing the case”. “Could Amanullah move the missing persons from the internment centre without approval,” he asked, adding that the court had heard a similar case of one Tasif Ali alias Danish. There, the judge said, it was held that civilian authorities have a right to investigate the matter once an FIR is registered. Justice Khawaja said the court would seek assistance from Attorney General Salman Aslam Butt in deciding the matter and adjourned the case to next week.

During a meeting of Government functionaries and Army high command, including Chief of Army Staff (CoAS) General Raheel Sharif and Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) Director General Lieutenant General Zaheerul Islam, in Islamabad on April 28 Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif said that dialogue and violence cannot go hand in hand, reports Daily Times. The meeting expressed the resolve to continue with dialogue with the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) with a “concise agenda” under “well-defined parameters”. The meeting, however, cautioned at the same time that talks without an effective ceasefire and immediate end to violent activities would not achieve any tangible result. Nawaz Sharif lauded the role and efforts of the ISI in protecting the country and ensuring its defence. An official at the Interior Ministry revealed that the Prime Minister said that the Government was determined to carry on talks with the Taliban, but any violent activity would be paid in the same coin and that the talks without a ceasefire would not be possible. “Dialogue and violence cannot go hand in hand,” the Prime Minister said. According to official sources, the Federal Minister for Interior, Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan said, “It is high time to make talks with the TTP successful.” There was consensus among the participants of the meeting that the dialogue process with the Taliban should have a concise agenda and dialogue should take place under well-defined parameters. However, serious apprehensions were expressed over recent incidents of terrorism, and commitment to take effective action against the perpetrators of these attacks was reiterated.

Several protestors were injured when Police resorted to baton-charge and tear gassing of demonstrators protesting over the missing persons issue at D-Chowk in Islamabad on April 28, reports Dawn. The protesters were attempting to approach the Parliament house in Islamabad's Red Zone area. Police resorted to baton-charging and aerial firing and also fired tear gas canisters to disperse the demonstrators as a result of which several persons fell unconscious. The resultant clash also left six Police personnel, including two women and four men, wounded. Human Rights activist and campaigner on the missing persons issue, Amna Masood Janjua, was also arrested by Police. Police tried to confiscate the cameras and other equipment of media teams trying to cover the incident. Television channels aired footage of several journalists who were wounded and had their equipment damaged due to the use of force by security personnel. Meanwhile, taking notice of the incident, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif ordered the authorities concerned to release the detained protesters at the earliest. He said protesting peacefully was every citizen's fundamental right which cannot be taken away from them. He also ordered the authorities to look into the incident and punish the culprits of manhandling rights activists and journalists with an iron hand.

The petition for Abbasi’s recovery alleged that certain officials from secret agencies picked him up from Rawat while he was on way home. “His cell phone was last traced to Sihala,” said Abdul Rehman, the petitioner and Iqrar’s elder brother. Sihala is a heavily Policed area which also houses a Police training college. According to the petition, Iqrar has been kept somewhere in the jurisdiction of Sihala Police Station. The petitioner said a First Information Report (FIR) in this regard had been lodged with the Police Station but his whereabouts were still not known. The petition requested the court to direct the respondents, Interior and Defence Secretaries and Inspector General (IG) Islamabad Police, to produce Iqrar Abbasi before the Court and subsequently order them to release him from unlawful custody.
