PTI's Response to imran khan's trial in Attock jail

The Matter Of Transfer Of Trial Of Chairman Pakistan Tehreek-E-Insaf To Attock Jail

An important meeting of the core committee of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf took place today in which following points were discussed:

• Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf has completely rejected the government's decision to transfer the trial of Chairman Imran Khan to Attock Jail.
• Requested the Supreme Court of Pakistan to take immediate notice of open rebellion against the constitution.
• An appeal to local and international human rights organizations to raise their voices effectively against this illegal, unconstitutional and dictatorial move.
• The Constitution gives every citizen the fundamental right to a fair trial.
• Like Toshakhana, the foundation of injustice has been laid in the cipher case.
• According to Section 167 of the Criminal Code, Chairman Imran Khan was remanded without fulfilling the basic legal requirement of appearing in court.
• Now a shameful attempt is being made to establish a new tradition of killing justice through a secret trial in the jail.
• The closed room trial of Chairman Imran Khan has no scope in the law nor does the constitution allow it.
• Chairman Tehreek-e-Insaf also rejects the Ministry of Law and Justice's approval to transfer the trial of Imran Khan to Attock Jail.
• The case against the chairman of Tehreek-e-Insaf should be tried in an open court in the presence of the media and lawyers.
• A secret trial or any verdict pronounced as a result of it will not have legal status nor will the nation accept it.
• Tampering with law and justice should be stopped and PTI Chairman Imran Khan should be avoided as a target of non-transparent, illegal and discriminatory trial.
