Not true.. courts have given more than 500 people death sentence. If proper evidence is presented, terrorists are convicted. In fact, even if half evidence is presented, courts will give benefit of doubt to the state (due to security situation).
I have worked with some lawyers and have seen MANY cases of personal vendetta, rishwat, bad policing etc etc.
For e.g, do you remember Karachi Airport attack? How many people attacked? Everyone knows they were 10 attackers and ALL were killed. But do you know there are 3 people right now in court (since 3 years) who are said to be attackers. Local Police says there were 13 attackers, 3 escaped. Those 3 are in jail... Airport security incharge and other agencies have denied that report in court. Our military even caught all the handlers etc (they are in military jails). Those 3 people are innocent (a famous big name police SSP asked for 50 lakhs rishwat, its on record [phone recording])... Despite all this, they are still in jail as court proceedings are VERY SLOW. Witnesses DONT SHOW UP. Judges dont show up. Lawyers dont show up.. Its an open and shut case... There are many similar cases. These type of incidents give police a lot of power to MINT MONEY in the name of terror.
I can give you many examples. Yes, sometimes real terrorists have been let off by courts too [mostly because they have good financing, can afford BIG lawyer OR give HUGE RISHWAT to police to tamper evidence OR they kill witnesses etc]
In the USA, Italy etc, Mafia was defeated with the help of strong courts too... This type of illegal killings (where the police is judge, jury and executionar) lead to a lot more harm then good.
Yes, but that is if you have proof who they are. How do you know those killed are terrorists? IF the ones killed are terrorists, good riddance, but MANY... and I mean MANY are "collateral" (yes, our army/police also justify collatoral, just like the terrorists doo)
Thats the point. Not all missing people are terrorists. Do you know many times we capture relatives of terrorists (usually brothers, father and/or father in law) if we cant find the actual guy? Esp true for ppl in FATA (The British even built a law for this.. just like Israel).. and then kill them too if that wanted terrorist is doing big attacks (for e.g brother of lashkar-e-jhangvi almi guy). The lashkar person was/is a hard core, stone cold terrorist. His brother on the other hand had no such inklings.. after a number of our forces were killed by that terrorist group, we took out his brother and killed him in retaliation.
