Amjad Hussain shows photograph, of his brother Tahir Mirza Hussain, left, sits with his father Mirza Fazal Hussain holding his nephew outside a court in Rawalpindi, taken in 1993 in Islamabad Saturday May 20, 2006. After spending half his life in a grim Pakistani jail, the British-Pakistani man Tahir Mirza Hussain is due to hang on his 36th birthday for killing a taxi driver _ although a court acquitted him 10 years ago. Amnesty International has called for a retrial, and British Prime Minister Tony Blair and Foreign Secretary Margaret Beckett have urged President Musharraf to reconsider Hussain's sentence.

Pakistan is a flawed construct of a nation....
The lunatics who could no longer live peacefully, side by side with the Hindu and Sikhs in India --- were "segregated" in their detached "insane asylums" of Pakistan and Bangladesh...
Remember?
To date -- in spite of many years in international business - I have yet to meet a Pakistani I could trust in any business or personal matter...
The sample size was certainly large enough, that I should have met at least several.... But didn't....

"He was cleared by a secular court but retried and found guilty in an Islamic one."Coming soon to Western Europe!
(Western Europeans are tired of that burdonsome, boring, old-hat, racist, sexist, homophobe Western Civilization anyway. Why not try something new???)

If he was acquitted by any court, that should have been the end of it! Religious courts belong to a much, much earlier age, when faith and doctrine meant more than the truth.
