Renowned lawyer and human rights activist Imaan Mazari Advocate, commenting on today’s verdict in Dr. Mahrang Baloch’s case, said that the constitutional court has completely relinquished its responsibility by upholding the executive order.
She stated that leaving Dr. Mahrang Baloch at the mercy of the same executive that maliciously detained her and other BYC leaders under the MPO is an abandonment of constitutional duties. The court should have set aside the MPO order and issued instructions for Dr. Mahrang Baloch’s release. “But in this country, there are no real courts,” she added, “so perhaps expecting justice is asking for too much.
