Very informative, shared it, somewhat "taboo", please do one now on Qisas and Diyat interpretations in the Qu'ran. I wish we had a Kuch Khas Chapter in Karachi. I am sure I could round up at least a hundred people if not more. We are so "culture starved" in Karachi. It could be the "Winds of Change" we so badly need. Just want 2 say three things: Wear dark colours, preferably Western Attire because your audience are certainly not the "Tableegi crowd" so case in point is represent liberalism (anyone whose a rabid Wahabi will be any way be baying for blood calling you names), a little bit less of grining and gloating (yes hats of you've done it). IF I'm ever in Isloo I will make time to attend and I'll come preparred not for the sake of being rhetorical attention seeking but to learn how we can take an idea and then ask a lawyer to propose how an existing black law can be changed. The parliament makes the laws but its the judges who interpretate it, and you all should invite them. Espacially Justice Sarmad Jalal Osmany whose a very well read read broadminded man (former CJ of Sindh High Court and now on SC bench). If they agree with what's being argued then they might put it in practice when the are deciding cases. Those are the educated amongst us that you need to appeal to. Wish you the best and keep it up.
Three top lawyers who I know are not "Fascists" are Munir Malik, Hamid Khan and Justice (Rtd) Rasheed Razvi - all three do a lot of pro bono labour and missing persons cases. They are devoted professionals with a passion to bring about change. Hamid Khan and Munir Malik are most likely to participate. An "empowered audience" is what can precipiate the much warranted change. Journos/writters can't affect "real change". Case law is a an ever changing chameleon, it keeps up with the times unlike acts of parliament which are much to do with appeasing either the Americans or the Establishment or to "save someones skin", seldom ha sever addressed any issues - except in one instance, the Womens Protection Act. Only way to change an existing black law is by getting a good lawyer to file a constitutional petition, if its a "public interest" issue, I have seen the aforementioned three do it too many times in life.
