26/11: Pak court rejects suspects’ plea for acquittal

The Hindu  

A Pakistani anti-terror court on Wednesday rejected an application seeking acquittal of LeT operations chief Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi and six others charged with helping plan and execute the Mumbai attacks. Judge Malik Muhammad Akram Awan, who is conducting the trial within Adiala Jail in Rawalpindi for security reasons, directed the prosecution to present evidence against the accused at the next hearing on January 16. He rejected the applications filed by the suspects after hearing arguments by defence lawyers and the prosecution, which told the court that it has “strong evidence” against the accused. The defence lawyers had challenged the prosecution’s decision to use Kasab’s statement to Indian authorities on the ground that the accused were not given an opportunity to cross-examine Kasab in the Pakistani court.
