Dear Prof. Dave Petley, VC Univ. of Hull, Dr. Caroline & respected faculty at University of Hull, Uk. I am compelled to draw your attention to a development that if ignored risks undermining Hull’s good name & standing in the academic world. A junior Judge, by the name, Humayun Dilawar, from Pakistan, has been added, in the last minute, to a legal training program/seminar relating to Human Rights & principles of law, starting at Hull, this week. Apparently his name is a last minute replacement as reward for a bizarre court decision he was to deliver on Aug 5, in Islamabad. It’s widely believed that decision (in gross violation of principles of law & justice) against former PM, Imran Khan of imprisonment & disqualification from elections, has been forced by Pakistani military to stop Mr. Khan from participating in forthcoming elections. Universities & law departments are notorious for ascertaining facts & meticulous research; you don’t need to take my words or messages of hundreds of Pakistanis who are writing to you. You just need to appoint a researcher to quickly scan Pakistani English press like Dawn & Tribune, and Pakistani Twitter handles of prominent legal personalities. Check the statement of Pakistan Supreme Court Bar Association that clearly concludes that Judge Dilawar’s decision is only to prevent Imran Khan from fighting elections. But is this about a politician? Unfortunately not, as your research team will find out it’s military managed strategy to deny free fair and transparent elections to 240 million people of Pakistan. I may add, thousands of political workers, activists and leaders are in jail in Pakistan, one of the most prominent TV Anchor & Journalist Arshad Sharif was assassinated in Kenya & another prominent journalist Imran Riaz is now missing for almost three months despite High Courts demanding his appearance. Your researchers will find much more troubling details about what is happening in Pakistan. Under the circumstances, Univ of Hull allowing this Judge Humayun Dilawar, to attend a program on Human Rights will undermine the very concepts of Law, Justice & Human Rights & will encourage fascism in Pakistan & send a wrong signal to the whole world. I will strongly urge the University of Hull faculty & students to investigate the issues highlighted above & by other Pakistanis who are writing to you & then judge if this controversial man can be allowed to participate in the program! Sincerely: Dr. Moeed Pirzada, TV Anchor, Journalist & Editor in forced Exile, Washington DC @UniOfHull @VC_Hull @Cargib1 @HullCity @HulllawsocIt
