LAHORE , Pakistan- Hopes for opportunity of two Christian siblings waiting for capital punishment under Pakistan's sacrilege regulations were run for this present month when a court in Pakistan maintained their capital punishment in spite of absence of proof against them, their legal counselors said.Qaiser Ayub, 45, and Amoon Ayub, 42, have been detained beginning around 2014, and their allure of capital punishment under the watchful eye of the Lahore High Court's Rawalpindi Bench had been forthcoming beginning around 2018. Equity Raja Shahid Mehmood Abbasi and Justice Chaudhry Abdul Aziz took up their allure on Feb. 28 yet didn't declare their decision until June 8, lawyer Khurram Maan said.
"We were very confident that the adjudicators would observe that the preliminary court had sentenced our clients based on a poor examination and proof, however we were stunned when the court reported its decision on June 8, following a postponement of 90 days," Maan told Morning Star News.
Maan, of the European Center for Law and Justice (ECLJ), is addressing Amoon Ayub, while Tahir Bashir of the Center for Legal Aid, Assistance and Settlement (CLAAS) is protecting Qaiser Ayub. Maan and Bashir said there is no proof that ensnares the Ayub siblings in the profanation charge.
Bashir said the siblings, detained in the Sahiwal District Jail, were "extremely miserable and frustrated" when informed about the allure decision.
"Qaiser has three kids, while Amoon is childless," Bashir told Morning Star News. "The two men were crushed when they discovered that their allure for equity has been denied."
The body of evidence against the siblings was enlisted in June 2011 on an objection by Talagang occupant Muhammad Saeed, who claimed he ran over a blog containing disrespectful material against Islam's prophet, Muhammad, Maan said. The blog was made by Muslim companions of Qaiser Ayub who were angry over a contention with him, and they had put his name, telephone number, email address and office address on their webpage, Maan said.Qaiser Ayub's companions had enlisted the site under Amoon Ayub's name, and in view of that and the contact data on the blog, police documented charges against the two siblings and captured them, Maan said.
"Absolutely no part of that data demonstrated that both of the two siblings really wrote or posted the ungodly material on the publishing content to a blog site," he said.
The legal counselor said that Amoon Ayub was a music educator at a non-public school in Lahore and was running a little foundation for government assistance of Christians, the United Christian Organization (UCO), with his more established sibling, Qaiser Ayub. The siblings likewise worked a site where they posted news about the exercises of their association, he added.
"The body of evidence against the siblings depended on the godless substance posted on a blog which, as per the siblings' declarations, was made by the Muslim companions of Qaiser utilizing their contact data from the first site after a battle broke out between them north of one of the companion's sister," Maan said.
The preliminary court sentenced the two siblings in February 2022, thinking that the presence of their contact data on the blog and their failing to move toward the site chairman to eliminate the contact subtleties showed that they were answerable for making it.
"Both the preliminary court and the high court wouldn't acknowledge that any individual can make a site and post anyone's name and address on it," Maan said.
During the allure, Maan let the court know that the siblings' bona fide site was online for just a year and had no disrespectful substance on it."I begged the court to ask of the Cybercrime Wing of the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) why they had neglected to confirm the designer of the profane blog from the WordPress the board, to which the exploring official said the organization was not answering their solicitation," Maan said.
The FIA did state to the court that it had held a "specialized gathering" with the complainant, after which the charges were documented, Maan said, "yet the truth of the matter is that the complainant isn't so much as a register [second-year secondary school student], so how is it that he could have such a gathering with the organization?"
The legal counselor said that he likewise refered to a new judgment by the Lahore High Court which held that a godless instant message found in the telephone of a litigant for another situation was lacking proof for conviction.
"The appealing party could be sentenced provided that the arraignment lays out that the telephone was in his utilization and that he created and sent the supposed instant message," Maan said. "Essentially, in the Ayub siblings' case, the arraignment didn't lay out that they created or posted the disrespectful material on the blog. Notwithstanding, the court dismissed the entries and significant case regulation."
