PESHAWAR – A Pakistan-based legal charity has attempted court
to sought injunctions for the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) to shoot down
American drones flying in the territory of Pakistan.
Foundation for Fundamental Rights (FFR) has registered two petitions in front of the Peshawar High Court on behalf of victims of the drone strike carried out on March 17 2011. The petitions mentioned the federation of Pakistan, Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Ministry of Defense among others as its responders. One of the suitors is Noor Khan, the surviving son of Malik Daud Khan, who was the head of a North Waziristan Jirga and was killed along with 50 other tribal seniors and luminaries by CIA operated drones last year. A US drone fired missiles on March 17, 2011 which brutally killed 50 people including Malik Daud Khan, five members of the Khasadar force, and a young boy.
The suitors are seeking court orders asking the federal government to highlight the issue before the United Nations Security Council, International Court of Justice and UNHRC. They also stated that the central government should order the Pakistan Air Force to shoot down drones flying inside Pakistani territory to ensure the security of its citizens.
