Pakistan High Commission to Sue Attackers of Former Chief Justice Qazi Faiz Isa in London

Qazi Faiz Isa, while attending an event in London, the Pakistan High Commission has decided to file a case against the attackers. According to diplomatic sources, the case will involve nine individuals and will be registered with Scotland Yard through diplomatic channels.

 

The incident occurred during a protest by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) supporters outside the Middle Temple, where Isa was appointed as a bencher. As he left the event, protesters allegedly assaulted his vehicle, causing damage not only to his car but also to the vehicle belonging to the Pakistan High Commission.

 

Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi has taken a firm stance regarding the incident, announcing the cancellation of passports for the attackers. He directed the National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) to swiftly identify the individuals involved using available footage from the scene.

 

Naqvi emphasized the seriousness of the situation, stating that legal action would be pursued against the attackers, including filing a First Information Report (FIR) in Pakistan. Furthermore, he indicated that their identity cards would be blocked and their passports revoked, with the citizenship of those responsible being subjected to immediate revocation. This process will be submitted for approval to the federal cabinet.

 

The Interior Minister reiterated the government's commitment to ensuring that such attacks are not tolerated, asserting that no one should be permitted to carry out violence against individuals, especially those in positions of authority.

 

As the situation unfolds, the Pakistan High Commission's decisive actions reflect a broader commitment to ensuring the safety and dignity of its citizens abroad, especially in the wake of politically charged protests.
