SHC adjourns Akram Lahori's appeal
The Sindh High Court adjourned Friday the hearing of the banned Lashkar-e-Jhangvis activists plea against conviction in a sectarian murder case for a later date. LeJ Chief Muhammad Ajmal alias Akram Lahori, Muhammad Azam alias Sharif and Attullah alias Qasim were awarded death sentences by Anti-Terrorism Court Karachi on April 26, 2003. They are charged with killing Anwar Ali Tirmizi and Syed Zulfiqar Ali, residents of Shah Faisal Colony on March 11, 2002 over a sectarian issue. Dissatisfied with the trial court order, they approached the SHC and filed an application against their conviction through Azizullah Shaikh advocate, stating that they were innocent and falsely implicated. The applicants counsel submitted that the trial court did not appreciate the evidence in accordance with the law and did not give it due consideration.Posted by: Fred 2007-06-30 |
