Some Terrorist Lawyers
Giving Bad Name to the Legal Profession
MQM USA Strongly Condemns Assault on Dr. Farooq Sattar
(Oct-1-07)
MQM USA strongly condemns the brutal attack on Dr. Farooq Sattar, a senior
politician and the deputy convener of the MQM. Dr. Sattar was transporting
injured journalists to a hospital near the Election Commission building when he
was apprehended by a handful of lawyers. MQM USA terms this attack as yet
another bid to suppress basic citizens’ rights, such as, freedom of movement and
freedom of providing medical aid to fellow citizens of Pakistan.
MQM USA terms the attack on Dr. Farooq Sattar as the extension of the concerted
attempts by certain lawyers who have resorted to terrorist-like activities in
the last few months to disrupt the robust political and democratic process in
the country, which MQM supports. We feel that it’s high time we stand up united,
to uphold Pakistani citizens’ basic and inalienable human rights, against the
so-called lawyers as well as the fascist forces which are tireless working to
create wedge among Pakistanis to fit their evil designs. We also urge the
socially-conscious citizens of Pakistan to join hands to uphold the rights of
expression of truth and reality against poisonous statements and actions of
terrorists in black coats who are serving the very interests of feudal and
nepotistic politicians of Pakistan.
We condemn the actions of the terrorists and their ilk to spread violence and
hatred that might lead to further division of the country. Let's see to it that
the fascist experiment’ is not repeated anywhere, and that the culprits are put
to task. MQM USA especially demands various bar associations in Pakistan to take
immediate steps in cleaning up their ranks from such terrorist elements who are
giving bad name to the noble profession of law in Pakistan. MQM USA recommends
the creation of a national body to ensure the integrity of bar associations
around the country.
