CITIZENS
LONDON
: APL a team of British Pakistani lawyers (UK) has learnt with sadness the
terrorism incident resulting in dozen of killings in the capital by extremist
outlawed at the offices of Charlie Ebdo a satirical magazine and APL condemned
these killings in the strongest of terms.
"Our
thoughts are with the victims, people of France and the victim families who have
lost their loved ones", said APK chair Mr.Malik,
Paris
murders are barbaric and this is the high time to show international unity
against extremism and increasing violence & radicalisation based on race
religion colour and nationalities.
it's
a reminder that Pakistan too is a victim of such barbarity actions and that
during recent Peshawar school attack over 141 school children were gunned down
by outlawed criminals and during Lahore wagah border attack in 2014 dozens of
innocent civilians were martyred.
Nations
and free world are paying heavy price to safeguard its values and freedoms and
that we are with them at this time of tragedy and mourning.
Pakistani
Govt's action of passing 21st amendment setting up speedy trial courts and
measures to curb such outlawed networks people in ground their handlers and
masterminds will give a string message of state commitment to curb increasing
radicalisation rand violence.
Premier
Sharif Has outlined in a national address post Peshawar school attack a 20
point action plan to deter discourage defeat and punish extremism and religious
violence.
APL
supports all the actions French president may or will take to bring those
perpetrators behind this attack to account and they must be awarded exemplary
punishment.
Criminals are criminals and have
no religion or creed and they must be treated as criminals and must be punished
no matter what colour nationality creed they are and or religion they profess
by the hands of law of the land as no religion teaches to take life of a fellow
human being.
