ISLAMABAD: A judge has challenged the perception created by an international ranking that placed Pakistan’s justice system near the bottom of the list.

Two years ago, the World Justice Project ranked Pakistan 130th out of 142 countries in terms of the rule of law.

ISLAMABAD: In December 2018, a sub-inspector of the FIA arrested Ghulam Ahmed Roomi on flimsy charges. His computer, laptop, and phone were confiscated, and he was tortured. A demand of Rs5 million was made to secure his release, but the deal was finalised at Rs1.5 million with his family. Nevertheless, it took him three weeks to be released from jail. Roomi thought this would mark the end of his ordeal, but it was only the beginning. Once home, he encountered yet another shock.

RT @Shabanashaukat4: @UmarCheema1 میری کلاس فیلو تھی ماجدہ، اس کا بھائی فوج میں تھا اور وہ سندھی تھے، ماجدہ سب کے ساتھ مل کر پنجاب کو برا ک…
