Re -Mirza Tahir Hussain (2)

Life to me is worth celebrating, but somebody like Mirza Tahir Hussain who had seen hell, feel hell and he is finally out of the hell will appreciate God the creator for changing the mind of the Pakistian president that had already passed the death judgement and only for him to repeal the decision after so many appeals .

Now that he is out of the prison he should realise that, his incarceration should not be an impediment to his progress in life. After all, Joseph came out of the prison to become a King. Life continue and it is interesting.

RE-Mirza Tahir Hussain

The story below is an excerpt from ITN News The unfortunate young boy had found himself in the middle of a conflict that might eventually end his life.

The 36-year-old, was just 18 when he left Leeds in December 1988 to visit relatives in Pakistan.

Three days after flying out from Heathrow, Mr Hussain took a train from his aunt's home in Karachi to Rawalpindi where he took a taxi for the journey to his family in the village of Bhubar.

Later that night, Hussain led police to the body of the driver, who had been shot dead and told them that the driver had stopped the car, tried to sexually assault him, pulled a gun, and that during a struggle the weapon went off and killed the driver.

It was later established that the gun did belong to the driver but Hussain was convicted and sentenced to death.

The High Court in Lahore said the case was flawed and ordered a retrial, in which Hussain was sentenced to life imprisonment.

Again, the High Court overturned the verdict, and on 20 May 1996, he was acquitted of all charges and looked set to be freed.

But Pakistan's sharia court, which operates in parallel to the secular court, intervened and reimposed the death sentence and Mirza has been in prison ever since.

From a layman who does not understand any legal procedure, I believe it is not justified for the Pakistan Government to hang this guy. He had suffered more than enough.

President Musharraf should temper justice with mercy, because a Nigerian adage will say "if we appease a masquerade, he will sure forgive, if we appease the gods, they will surely forgives and if we appease the almighty GOD he is a forgiven GOD".
