Non-vaccination of children in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) could spoil the anti-polio initiative in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), Dawn reports on April 4. The immunisation of children through Sehat Ka Insaf programme can’t protect children against poliovirus for long as far as children in FATA would stay without oral polio vaccine (OPV). Two new cases, one each from North Waziristan Agency and Bannu, were recorded on April 2, bringing the total number of nationwide cases to 41. This also worried the authorities in KP, who are carrying out immunisation campaigns. According to the National Institute of Health, Islamabad, Pakistan had recorded only six polio cases till this date in 2013 against 41 this year, which reflects an increase of 900 per cent. Children in KP will remain at risk of polio despite immunisation till the Government makes arrangements to administer OPV to children in North Waziristan and Khyber Agency. The rapid increase in polio cases in 2014 poses a serious challenge to the health authorities and the UN agencies engaged in immunisation campaigns. Of the country’s total tally so far this year (2014), FATA has 33 polio cases, KP six and Sindh one.

A total of 5,573 acts of terror across the country have cost the lives of 8484 people, including ten foreigners, during the last four years, disclosed the Government in the National Assembly on April 4, reports Daily Times. Also among the terror victims are 185 children, the Federal Ministry of Interior told the Lower House of Parliament in a written reply to the queries of Pakistan People’s Party’s (PPP) Dr Nafeesa Shah. The province-wise breakup of terror acts revealed that Balochistan was most affected, leading with 3098 acts of terrorism followed by 1499 in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) and Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) with 648 incidents. In number of human loss, FATA topped the list where 3240 persons lost their lives in these terrorism acts followed by KP with 2311 human lives losses and 1985 in Balochistan. The number of persons killed in Punjab stood at 643 and in Sindh the number was 313.The most tragic figures came about the children in these terrorists attacks that came to 185 in last five years based on the data received from KP, Islamabad, Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (PoK) and Gilgit Baltistan. The Government also informed the House that 60 proscribed organizations are being kept under watch and its cadre enlisted under Schedule IV of Anti-Terrorism Act (ATA) are being strictly monitored.

According to the figures released by the Karachi Police on May 15 to share their ‘performance’ from September 5, 2013 to May 5, 2014, at least 360 suspects have been killed by the Law-Enforcement Agencies (LEA) during the operation in Karachi since September 5, 2013, reports Dawn. It stated that at least 60 Policemen were killed in the line of duty. They were mostly targeted when they were on patrol though a few were killed in encounters with militants, bandits, gangsters and other criminals. The figures showed a total of 1,277 ‘encounters’ leading to the arrest of some 1,000 ‘heinous crime’ suspects and killing of 253 others. Suspects shot dead by paramilitary Rangers numbered 115. The suspects were wanted in ‘heinous crimes’ from murders to ‘terrorism acts’ and kidnapping-for ransom-to extortion. “The situation describes police strategy,” said the Spokesman for the Karachi Police when asked about the reasons behind an unprecedented surge in deadly encounters which left 253 suspects dead. “The current leadership of the Karachi and Sindh Police has focused more on training and capacity building of the serving Policemen, considering the challenges and ongoing targeted operation, which has resulted in better firing skills and much better reaction time of our Policemen challenging the criminals,” he said. “There is no shoot-at-sight order. The number of killings in encounters rose only because criminals face much stronger and quicker reaction from the Police party whenever they challenge it. The encounters were also held in the past but a sluggish response from the police party helped suspects to escape unhurt,” he added. While the Police ‘performance’ has brought down the number of killings on sectarian, ethnic and political grounds to a large extent, it has raised questions about the growing number of deadly encounters drawing criticism from human rights activists. Zohra Yusuf of the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan (HRCP) said that such a high figure of killings in ‘encounters’ acknowledged by the LEAs was highly alarming. The killings also confirmed our worst fears over the Karachi operation, she said.

Karachi Dockyard attackers planned to hijack Navy frigate PNS Zulfiqar in their attempt on West Wharf on September 6, Dawn reported on September 13. According to informed sources, the attack was carried out entirely by serving Navy personnel, along with Owais Jakharani, a former Navy cadet who could have been given access inside without too much trouble. “It seems the intention was to hijack PNS Zulfiqar [a frigate purchased from China and inducted in July 2009],” said one of these sources. “The group of would-be hijackers, led by a senior officer, was even saluted by the guard at the bottom of the gangway, before another became suspicious of their intentions and alerted other personnel.” Naval Commandos of PNS Iqbal rushed to the scene and a gunbattle ensued. One naval officer was killed and seven others were injured. Two or three of the attackers were shot dead, one of them being Jakharani, who the Police claimed had drowned. Four attackers who had taken refuge in one of the ship’s compartments were locked in and later captured. According to another source, no fewer than 17 more individuals, all Navy personnel, including the three arrested from Quetta in Balochistan while reportedly trying to make their way to Afghanistan have been rounded up based on information extracted from those apprehended. It is believed the suspects are currently being interrogated at one of the military’s interrogation centres.

At least 14,115 persons have been acquitted in terrorism-related cases by the Anti-Terrorism Courts between 2008 and 2012 while some 10,387 people booked in similar cases were granted bail during this period, according to the data compiled by Federal Ministry for Interior to formulate National Internal Security Policy 2014-2018 reveals, reports The News on December 19 (today). The policy says that the criminal justice system is ill-equipped in dealing with the internal security threats. Inability to successfully prosecute cases of terrorism remains a matter of serious concern. Also, the absence of basic investigation and case preparation skills of Police results in lack of convictions by the courts. There were at least 35,106 under trail prisoners in terror cases in the country while some 28,325 have been challenged by Police. The document says that there are 1,175 pending investigations while of the total 13,053 registered terrorism cases, 6,661 have been decided. The data says that there are 48 Anti-Terrorism Courts in the country with 14 in Punjab, 11 in Sindh, 11 in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), 2 in Islamabad and 10 in Gilgit-Baltistan (GB). Total cases under anti-terrorism laws registered in the country from 2008 to 2012 were 13053. Most of them, 4627 cases were registered in Sindh (1810 under trail and 1809 decided cases); 3372 in Punjab (1560 under trail and 2485 decided) 2975 in KP (1417 under trail and 1261 decided) and 2001 in Balcohistan (557 under trail and 980 decided).

Of these, the mercy appeals of eight convicts are pending before the President and one before the Army General Headquarters. Consolidated statistics show that the major prisons in Karachi, Larkana, Hyderabad and Sukkur Districts house 458 such prisoners, who were awarded death sentences by the Sessions Courts and the Special Anti-Terrorism Courts (ATC) over the years.
