Pakistan’s National Assembly approved a bill allowing use of electronic evidence from wire-tapping and communication intercepts against terror suspects after a large number of acquittals by anti-terrorism courts for lack of proof.
“It is an accepted fact that terrorists are not getting convicted and are not brought to justice because of lack of relevant rules and laws,” Law Minister Farooq H. Naek said while presenting the bill in the National Assembly, or the lower house, in Islamabad today.
