Pak Govt set to clip intelligence agencies' powers | The Parliamentary Committee on National Security, in a bid to "limit" the intelligence agencies' role in picking up innocent citizens, will submit its recommendations on the missing
persons' case to the government this month. The parliamentary panel's chairperson
Senator Raza Rabbani has prepared comprehensive recommendations to resolve the
issue of enforced disappearances in the country, reports The Express Tribune.
According to these recommendations, parliament will look into the proposed suggestions
to define the Inter-Services Intelligence's (ISI) role in the saga of these alleged
disappearances. The intelligence operators, under the new recommendations, would
not be able to pick any person without approval of the local courts. "The gist
of the recommendations is to enact area specific laws to resolve the burning issue,"
said a member of the panel. Under these newly drafted recommendations, special
courts will be established in the country, which will be empowered, to investigate
the sweeping powers possessed by intelligence agencies. These courts will also
ensure the safety of suspects with special emphasis on human rights. If an agency
picks up a suspect, it will be obligatory for it to inform the city police officer/station
within 24 hours. The agency would then require to file the case before the special
court for a fair trial.
