Update @ 1502: Muneer Malik dangerously ill, moved to Islamabad

I just received this email from Barrister Salahuddin Ahmed narrating the seriousness of Muneer Malik’s medical condition while we was jailed up in Attock Jail. It seems to be inhuman that such a respectable person to be treated in such a way, our prayers are with him for a quick and steady recovery.

Additionally we demand the government to release all other political prisoners which includes many lawyers which have been a thorn in the side of the President since March 8th, the day he tried to ransack the judiciary by dismissing the Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry

Muneer A. Malik, former President Supreme Court Bar Association, was finally shifted from Attock jail to PIMS Hospital, Islamabad, yesterday at around 6 pm when his medical condition deteriorating dangerously. He has suffered acute renal failure and is now undergoing dialysis. He is still under detention. Some lawyers, including Hamid Khan, managed to meet him during the transfer and say that he is dangerously ill. Since then, the guard around his room has been stepped up and he has not been allowed any visitors/attendants.

All are requested to exercise maximum efforts and pressure through all channels to ensure that:

  • His near and dear ones are allowed to visit and attend to him.
  • His detention orders are immediately lifted to allow him to receive appropriate medical treatment; whether in Pakistan or abroad.

    Dear Dr. Awab thank you so much for updating on Munir Malik. We are all praying for his health. Please keep us updating and this issue must be highlighted. We all must protest in strongest terms. Govt has crossed the limits by treating senior lawyers in such inhuman ways and seems it is getting away with it. This must not be allowed.
