A Pakistan-based legal charity has sought court injunctions for the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) to shoot down the United Sates (US) drones flying into the Pakistani airspace in a lawsuit, reports The Express Tribune. Foundation for Fundamental Rights has filed two petitions before the Peshawar High Court on behalf of victims of the drone strike carried out on March 17, 2011. The petitions cite the Federation of Pakistan, Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Ministry of Defence among others as its respondents. One of the petitioners is Noor Khan, the surviving son of Malik Daud Khan, who was the head of a North Waziristan Jirga and was killed along with 50 other tribal elders and notables by CIA operated drones on March 17, 2011. FFR works along with British legal charity Reprieve which had filed a similar petition in London earlier against involvement of the British Government in drone strikes in Pakistan. According to the PHC petition, over 3,000 people have been killed in over 320 drone strikes in FATA.

Section 144 has already been imposed in the city banning the movement of unregistered Afghan nationals. The KP Government had decided to expel Afghan refugees without legal documents from the province and directed the relevant authorities to begin the drive from Peshawar. In light of a cabinet decision, the DCO set a one-month deadline ending on May 25 for the ‘undocumented’ Afghan nationals to voluntarily leave Peshawar to avoid action. “The deadline has expired and police have powers to legal take action under Section 188 and 14 Foreign Act,” said the statement. Though the government has no consolidated data about Afghan refugees living in Peshawar, local officials put the number at around 400,000. An official said the Federal and Provincial Governments had already turned down the Afghan government’s request to show leniency and withdraw the deadline.

The declaration said that Afghan land, a land of peace and dialogues, was witnessing bloodshed and homicide and the whole area was converted into a dump of explosives and ammunition. It said that Pakhtuns, who were portrayed as terrorists, were basically enlightened, tolerant and moderate but they were exploited by the outsiders for their ulterior motives. So they were killed as well as taunted, it added. The declaration called upon developed nations to generously contribute and start reconstruction, rehabilitation and developmental programmes in the war-ravaged areas of Pakhtun land for alleviating poverty and overcoming backwardness and bringing it on a par with the developed areas of the region.
