“DRONE
ATTACKS” The Greatest Example of Unlawful homicide
Written by Khalid Baig,
European Union has increased pressure over Pakistan to revoke the law
for death penalty. The member countries of EU are of the view that through an
amendment in the law death penalty should be dropped. Human rights organizations
are also struggling since a long time for such amendment. Within Pakistan there
is also abundance of such elements who term death penalty as an EXTREME
punishment but over the extra-judicial killings of USA through Drone attacks
EU, Human Rights organizations and all other activists have no objection. Role
played by them is not only the symbol of their double standards and hypocrisy
but also a slap over the self-proclaimed torch bearer of human rights, so
called civilized society i.e. WEST. Death sentence or penalty given by courts
has a procedure and in the light of the evidence court awards death sentence to
a convicted culprit. This is necessary for the justice to the heirs of the
murdered persons; otherwise one may take law into his hands to take revenge
thus risking the peace of society. In contrast to this Drone attacks are an
extreme step violating all legal, international, moral and human values; in the
other words they are the living example of state terrorism. The era in which
powerful states and generals attacked the weak and poor states, massacred the
public of defeated state, gang raped their women, destroyed crops and houses,
men and women were taken as slaves; is remembered as black age in today’s
social sciences.
In the history Hilaku Khan is hated for building minarets of human
skulls, Hitler is hated for his genocide of Jews; all this is not in the books
only but in the brains of everyone through the movies of Hollywood. These
movies imprinted Hitler as an example of hatred and barbarism. What about BUSH
and OBAMA??? One started the massacre and genocide and other took it to the
extremes. During the reign of Obama even the persons participating in the
funeral prayers are not safe from US terrorist drones, while according to the
UNO singing the chorus of HUMAN RIGHTS and Geneva Convention when two armies
are bombarding each other during the war it is not permissible to target
hospitals, places of worship, ambulances and paramedical staff collecting dead
bodies or injured, the attack over the funerals is beyond the imagination for
humanity if there is any HUMANITY. But no one is safe from American barbarism
and terrorism, in Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya, American and NATO war-jets
specially targeted hospitals, schools, universities and civilian houses and the
most favorite target were innocent children and women. In Pakistan through
drone attacks all the limits for insulting humanity has been crossed by modern
terrorist state. Innocent children, women, elderly and innocent persons all are
target of US drone missiles; all these state terrorist crimes are being done in
the name of protection of USA and US public. Have American public given vote to
Obama administration to massacre and murder innocents, thousands of miles away because
American state terrorist agency CIA thinks they are threat to America?
Look at the extreme of injustice first the specific houses are targeted
by terming them as houses of terrorists. Afterwards when local people gather
for funeral of persons murdered in American state terrorism before their burial
they are killed by US drone attacks as well; all this terrorism is covered that
it might be possible that colleagues of these terrorists are present in these
funerals. Painful aspect is that European countries, so called human rights
organizations and modern elements of Pakistani society feeling proud in
expressing their treason to religion are busy in struggle to end death penalty
laws but they are deaf and dumb on the murder of innocents in the funerals by
American terrorists via drones.
Why only these anti-religion so-called modern elements; there is
democratic govt. selected through the votes of the public from last four years
and is going to complete five years of democracy soon; but this democratic
govt. has never dared to take any serious steps on international level against
these terrorist drone attacks. It seems these selected representatives of
Pakistan have no POLITICAL WILL to end drone attacks by USA. This bitter reality
might hurt some but this is the fact that during the reign of dictator Musharaf
first drone attack in 2004 in which four persons were murdered, two attacks in
2005 killing seven persons, in 2007 total four attacks killing 77 persons. In
this way from 2004 to 2007 total 9 attacks killing 112 persons.
In 2008 when democratic govt.
came into power nation witnessed 33 drone attacks in the first year with 314
kills and 17 injured. 2009 ended with 53 drone attacks from a civilized
terrorist state taking lives of 725. In 2010 drone attacks climbed up to 118
claiming lives of 993 persons and 385 injured. In 2011 the number attacks 70
killing 548 persons. From the start of 2012 till now total drone attacks 28 and
number of persons killed are 312 with 117 injured. Here one thing should be kept in mind that
after attack of NATO state terrorists over Salala Check Post when NATO supply
was suspended a decrease in drone attacks was observed but since the selected
and elected govt. of Pakistan has restored the NATO supply violating and
ignoring the resolutions of Parliament and voice of nation the number of these
terrorist drone attacks is again on rise. If we look at the figures since 2008
to 2012 Pakistan has been target of 292 drone attacks with 2882 causalities.
These causalities do not include those who died after being injured. While
according to the reports from hospitals those who survived these drone attacks
are living a miserable life suffering with skin and other diseases. This means
that USA is using chemical weapons in her drone attacks; if one may remember
Iraq was destroyed in the name of chemical weapons which these American state
terrorists are openly using to kill innocents in Pakistan.
However the protest of our elected govt. and electronic media over use
of chemical weapons aside they are not ready to present a solid policy against
state terrorism of USA i.e. drone attacks. On the other hand the employees of
foreign elements singing the chorus of AMAN KI ASHA in their talk-shows are busy
in blaming Pakistan army for terrorism in Afghanistan in spite of the fact that
there is elected democratic govt. in Pakistan. No one is ready to tell the
facts that how many innocents were murdered in these drone attacks, how many
children and women became target of US terrorism while according to wikileaks
Pakistan’s elected democratic govt. itself is in favor of drone attacks (to
collect dollars for the dead bodies of innocent Pakistani tribals).
This is the result of our these internal weaknesses (traitors) and
internal dispersion that American member of conference and lobbyist for India
in Washington DANA ROHRABACHER has presented a bill in Congress that US should
demand compensation of 5 billion dollars for every American soldier killed in
Afghanistan. Probably this might not get any serious attention but has any
Pakistani elected member of national or provincial assembly courage to present
a bill to demand compensation for innocent Pakistanis killed in fabricated
American war on terror??? The number of Pakistanis who has lost their lives in
American terrorist war is more than 50,000 including innocent children, women,
elderly, soldiers of Pakistan army, Police and other security agencies. If we
does not have this courage, and our political govt. and democratic leaders does
not have courage to take any solid stand against drone attacks than rest
assured that this state terrorism of America will not only continue but will
grow with passage of time…
