The Pakistan Government has asked the United Kingdom to extradite Hayerbiar Marri, the elder son of Baloch nationalist leader Nawab Kher Bakhsh Marri, to Pakistan for his alleged involvement in anti-state activities in Balochistan.
Islamabad, Oct 1 : The Pakistan Government has asked the United Kingdom to extradite Hayerbiar Marri, the elder son of Baloch nationalist leader Nawab Kher Bakhsh Marri, to Pakistan for his alleged involvement in anti-state activities in Balochistan.
Sources in the Foreign Office said that Islamabad has provided the necessary information to the UK, which is required for his extradition.
The UK had earlier expressed dissatisfaction over the details of the case provided by Pakistan, and sought more information, as there was some contradiction in the First Information Reports (FIR) registered with various police stations in Balochistan and the available evidence.
The UK authorities gave Islamabad some guidelines, and the amended extradition request was prepared according to these guidelines.
The Daily Times quoted sources as saying that the Balochistan Home Department had also received a copy of the UK Extradition Act 2003 from the FO.
According to them, Marri was involved in anti-state activities, and was providing financial and material support to terrorist networks in Balochistan. He was also allegedly involved in an assassination attempt on General Pervez Musharraf on December 14, 2005, and firing on a helicopter of the Frontier Corps IG and DIG.
Besides, Marri is wanted in four criminal cases registered with police stations in Quetta and Kohlu districts. According to the FIRs, the cases against him include the murder of Justice Muhammad Nawaz Marri and the assassination of Kohlu district naib nazim Mir Changez.
He was declared an absconder for not appearing in court. He was also nominated in two cases of illegal possession of arms and explosives lodged with Quetta and Kohlu police stations under the Anti-Terrorist Act, the daily reported.
