2004-05-27
LAHORE: The lawyer representing Rehmat Shah Afridi, chief editor of The Frontier Post, on Wednesday concluded arguments in an appeal before the Lahore High Court (LHC) against death sentence for Mr Afridi in two cases of drug smuggling. The prosecution lawyer, who started arguments on Wednesday would resume them today (Thursday). Mr Afridi’s lawyer Syed Ehsan Qadir Shah said his client was victimised. The lawyer said that throughout the case, Mr Afridi had maintained that a false case was registered against him for publishing stories about the corruption of then prime minister Nawaz Sharif, and some officials of the Anti-Narcotics Force (ANF).
