Justice, finally?

[Machoman]

Justice delayed in some cases isn’t always denied. After a year since the senseless and utterly tragic deaths of two brothers in Sialkot, the jury has given a judgment.

Talking to Dawn, the family of Mughees and Muneeb said they were satisfied with the verdict in which the court sentenced seven of the convicts to death on four counts, gave life-term on four counts to six of them and jailed nine policemen, including a former district police officer, for three years.

Perhaps they can now begin to heal.

Given this with a prompt verdict on Sarfaraz Shah’s case, can one begin to hope for justice in this country which often seems to host more chaos than order?

Will people who assume they can take the law in their own hands, think twice before they start beating an innocent teenager to death?

Can the citizens of Pakistan finally expect efficiency in the cases of complete injustice?

Glad to hear this news but what are the details of decision. Will that be sustained?

well hopefully, the convicted have appealed in HC, its pretty likely that in HC and SC the decision would sustain...

in criminal offences, decisions usually dont change dramatically....

Three years punishment for policemen is a joke after all it's their responsibility to stop crime. Those boys were beaten to death and they were standing there like they are in a park, they didn’t do their job because of that two people died they should be charged for murder. If they would have intervened those boys could have been saved.
