Raymond Davis Case: Developing Story

[Solomon2]

GoP has not even accepted the US claim-- GoP said the matter will be decided by the courts--

Whether immunity is diplomatic or consular is not a matter decided by a country's courts. It is an administrative arrangement between two nations.

excellent it's about time pakistan grew some balls davis should be left to rot in a pakistani prison and america should be told to go shove their aid up their .

 

[Imran Khan]

[JonAsad]

I have all along said - as per yr source - ADMINISTRATIVE & TECHNICAL STAFF can not be prosecuted!!

Do you have problem with that?

Yes i have a problem with that-- ADMINISTRATIVE & TECHNICAL STAFF can be prosecuted as per my sources--

 

[Areesh]

By they way thanks to this incident I can see two extremes of Pakistani society making a consensus on this issue. Both the Mullahs and the Liberals seem to be on the same page on this issue.

We can at least thanks USA for this integration in the Pakistani society.

And how much are you willing to pay in taxes to make up for lost U.S. aid and international loans?

 

[REHAN NIAZI FALCON]

[REHAN NIAZI FALCON]

and if matter of immunity is complicated-- courts decide that--
and If the immunity is consular-- then again he can be prosecuted--

As Government officials have rightly said to the visiting US delegation-- The courts will have the final say in this--

But no politician wants his hand seen behind Davis' release and hence this mess. Only courts can release him now. Then pakistani politicians can show people that a genie took away Davis back to US.

AFAIK Davis seems to have immunity under international law. Ardeshir Cowasjee also agrees with such assessment. Immunity to diplomats is complete. If diplomats mess up, the host can by law only deport him and warn the sending country. And the situation would be like sending country is supposed to apologize and ensure nothing gets repeated. But here this situation can happen only in Pakistan. I mean now Pak is feeling the pressure from US

Quick question before i can comment further--
Tell me how a technical and administrative staff member can have full diplomatic immunity? back it up--

 

[Abu Zolfiqar]

3 people are dead; an un-authorized foreigner was carrying and operating firearms in the host country

if Pakistan is in dereliction of international laws, so be it. Davis should NOT leave the country without the courts --the concerned (Pakistani) courts reaching a verdict on what to do with this twit.

and in the meantime, Pakistanis should look in the mirror and stop treating this murder as any different than other shootings; like when brothers kill other brothers in Karachi, Sialkot or elsewhere.


introspect!
