Official Statement
KM Law Associates – Legal Consultants & Barristers

KM Law Associates expresses its grave concern over the increasing incidents of political victimisation in Pakistan. The misuse of state machinery, initiation of mala fide proceedings, selective accountability, coercive tactics, and harassment of political workers and leaders undermine the very spirit of constitutional democracy and rule of law.

Political victimisation not only violates fundamental rights but also erodes public confidence in state institutions. The Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, 1973, provides clear safeguards to protect citizens from arbitrary and discriminatory actions.

Relevant constitutional protections include:

Article 4 – Right of individuals to be dealt with in accordance with law.

Article 8 – Laws inconsistent with or in derogation of fundamental rights to be void.

Article 9 – Security of person.

Article 10 & 10-A – Safeguards as to arrest and detention and the right to fair trial and due process.

Article 14 – Inviolability of dignity of man.

Article 15 & 16 – Freedom of movement and assembly.

Article 17 – Freedom of association and right to form political parties.

Article 19 – Freedom of speech.

Article 25 – Equality of citizens before law and equal protection of law.

Furthermore, the principles of natural justice, due process of law, and protection against abuse of authority are well established under Pakistani jurisprudence. Any action taken with mala fide intent, political bias, or discriminatory motive is liable to be challenged before the competent courts under Article 199 (High Court jurisdiction) and Article 184(3) (Supreme Court jurisdiction) of the Constitution.

KM Law Associates reiterates that accountability must be transparent, impartial, and in strict conformity with law. Selective prosecution or politically motivated proceedings are unconstitutional and subject to judicial scrutiny.

We call upon all state institutions to uphold constitutional supremacy, maintain neutrality, and ensure that no citizen is subjected to harassment or coercion on the basis of political affiliation. Democracy flourishes only when constitutional guarantees are respected and enforced without discrimination.

KM Law Associates remains committed to defending constitutional rights, protecting civil liberties, and pursuing all available legal remedies against any act of political victimisation.

Statement by Adv Akhtiar Gulab Chandio shared by IUDHR

Strong Condemnation of Cases Against Journalists in Dadu

Advocate Akhtiar Gulab Chandio strongly condemns the cases filed against journalists, including Yasir Shoro and others, for performing their professional duties and exercising their constitutional and legal rights.

He expressed serious concern over the application of the Anti-Terrorism Act on journalists who were raising legitimate questions regarding the alleged extra-judicial killing of Nadir Jamali, and that too within the court premises. Such actions are a direct threat to press freedom, democratic values, transparency, and the rule of law.

Adv. Akhtiar Gulab Chandio emphasized that journalists are the guardians of public information, and suppressing their lawful inquiries is unacceptable and dangerous for a democratic society. He called on the authorities to immediately withdraw all baseless cases, ensure the full protection of journalists, and uphold the constitutional guarantees of freedom of expression and press freedom.

He reiterated that silencing questions cannot deliver justice—accountability and the rule of law can.
