Collaborators may also face the court, say legal experts ? The ...
Treaso?n trial agains?t Mushar?raf?s collab?orator?s will be initia?ted under clause 2 of Articl?e 6.
?This case will open a Pandora?s box, Musharraf?s collaborators will be tried under Article 6 of the Constitution," says senior lawyer SM Zafar. DESIGN: FAIZAN DAWOOD
ISLAMABAD:?As Pakistan will mark the first of its kind treason trial of an army general, the sword also hangs on the heads of many collaborators of former army chief General (retd) Pervez Musharraf, legal and constitutional experts say.
Treason trial against Musharraf?s collaborators will be initiated under clause 2 of Article 6. If a court decides to go ahead with the trial, many high-ranking officials will then be answerable, experts add.
?Opening a Pandora?s box?
?This case will open a Pandora?s box,? says senior lawyer SM Zafar. ?Musharraf?s collaborators will be tried under Article 6 of the Constitution. I also mentioned names of several high-ranking officials who could possibly be Musharraf?s collaborators in this unconstitutional act,? Zafar added.
Clause two of Article 6 states that any persons aiding, abetting or collaborating with a person who abrogates the Constitution shall also be guilty of high treason.
Constitutional expert Baber Sattar said that the high treason case may be expanded by the Supreme Court and is likely to drag many high-ranking officers and political leaders.
Sattar said it will be difficult for Musharraf?s counsel to justify that collaborators had endorsed the former president?s decision to proclaim emergency in 2007.
The Supreme Court may constitute a special tribunal to hear Musharraf?s case, Sattar said, adding that it can also refer the case to any trial court for further proceedings.
Clash of institutions
Senior lawyer Aitzaz Ahsan, who is also a Pakistan Peoples Party senator, endorsed the government?s decision to try Musharraf under Article 6 and said it was a move in the right direction.
However, Ahsan foresees a clash of institutions with the initiation of the trial, as it was the first time in Pakistan?s history that a military rule is being questioned.
?All the pretexts and excuses have been given?it is going to lead to a clash of institutions and will harm democracy,? Ahsan told The Express Tribune.
November 3 emergency
Many petitions have been filed to put Musharraf to trial for high treason. One petitioner, Jameel Ahmed Malik agreed that Musharraf?s collaborators must be put to trial for high treason with the former military ruler.
To justify his claim, Malik quoted Musharraf?s proclamation of November 2007 emergency in his petition filed in the Supreme Court on September 2009.
?The situation has been reviewed in meetings with the prime minister, governors of the provinces, and with the chairman joint chiefs of staff committee, chiefs of the armed forces, vice-chief of army staff and corps commanders of the army. Therefore, in pursuance of the deliberations, and decisions of the said meetings, I, General Pervez Musharraf, Chief of the Army Staff, proclaim Emergency throughout Pakistan,? the proclamation read out.
The petition carries names of retired and serving high ranking military men, superior courts? judges and politicians who could possibly be summoned by the court during treason trial.
These names include: Chief of Army Staff General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani, Minister for Science and Technology Zahid Hamid, former Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz, Governor Sindh Ishrat Ul Ebad Khan, former Governor Baluchistan Owais Ahmad Ghani, former Governor Punjab Lieutenant General (retd) Khalid Maqbool and former Governor KPK Lieutenant General (retd) Ali Mohammad Jan Aurakzai. General (retd) Tariq Majid, former Chief of Naval Staff Admiral (retd) Muhammad Afzal Tahir, Air Chief Marshal (retd) Tanveer Mahmood Ahmed, Lieutenant General (retd) Sajjad Akram, Lieutenant General (retd) Khalid Shameem Wynne, Lieutenant General (retd) Waseem Ahmad Ashraf, former director general of Intelligence Bureau Brigadier (retd) Ijaz Shah, Lieutenant General (retd) Hamid Javed, MNA Aftab Ahmad Khan Sherpao, Lt. Gen (retd) Hamid Nawaz Khan, former interior secretary Syed Kamal Shah, former Principal Secretary Law Justice (retd) Mian Muhammad Ajmal, former Attorney General Malik Muhammad Qayyum and former law secretary Mansoor Ali Khan, justice (retd) Abdul Hameed Dogar, justice (retd) Nawaz Abbasi, justice (retd) Syed Saeed Ashad, justice (retd) Faqir Muhammad Khokhar, justice (retd) Javed Buttar, justice (retd) Muhammad Qaim Jan Khan, justice (retd) Ijaz-ul-Hassan, justice (retd) Muhammad Moosa Leghari, justice (retd) Chaudhry Ejaz Yousuf, justice (retd) Mian Hamid Farooq, justice (retd) Syed Zawwar Hussain, justice (retd) Muhammad Farrukh Mehmood, justice (retd) Sheikh Hakim Ali, justice (retd) Zia Perwez, justice (retd) Sardar Muhammad Aslam, justice (retd) Akhtar Shabbir, justice Syed Zahid Hussain, justice (retd) Mian Muhammad Najum-uz-Zaman, justice (retd) Maulvi Anwar-ul-Haq, justice (retd) Nasim Sikandar.
Only Musharraf to be tried
A former ambassador, B A Malik, however, thinks otherwise. In his view only Musharraf? should be tried because he was the Chief of Army Staff and President and was hence, personally responsible for subverting the constitution like former military rulers, Ayub Khan, Yahya Khan and Ziaul Haq.
The whole army can not be dragged into the controversy of course, he said.
Former President Musharraf may not be tried for subverting the Constitution on October 1999 as the Parliament under Shaukat Aziz had validated this act.

Cholesterol-lowering drug may reduce exercise benefits for obese adults
May 15, 2013 ? Statins, the most widely prescribed drugs worldwide, are often suggested to lower cholesterol and prevent heart disease in individuals with obesity, diabetes and metabolic syndrome, which is a combination of medical disorders including excess body fat and/or high levels of blood pressure, blood sugar and/or cholesterol. However, University of Missouri researchers found that simvastatin, a generic type of statin previously sold under the brand name "Zocor," hindered the positive effects of exercise for obese and overweight adults.
"Fitness has proven to be the most significant predictor of longevity and health because it protects people from a variety of chronic diseases," said John Thyfault, an associate professor of nutrition and exercise physiology at MU. "Daily physical activity is needed to maintain or improve fitness, and thus improve health outcomes. However, if patients start exercising and taking statins at the same time, it seems that statins block the ability of exercise to improve their fitness levels."
Thyfault says many cardiologists want to prescribe statins to all patients over a certain age regardless of whether they have metabolic syndrome; the drugs also are recommended for people with Type 2 diabetes. He recommends that cardiologists more closely weigh the benefits and risks of statins given this new data about their effect on exercise training.
"Statins have only been used for about 15-20 years, so we don't know what the long-term effects of statins will be on aerobic fitness and overall health," Thyfault said. "If the drugs cause complications with improving or maintaining fitness, not everyone should be prescribed statins."
Thyfault and his colleagues measured cardiorespiratory fitness in 37 previously sedentary, obese individuals ages 25-59 with low fitness levels. The participants followed the same exercise regimen on the MU campus for 12 weeks; 18 of the 37 people also took 40 mg of simvastatin daily.
Statins significantly affected participants' exercise outcomes. Participants in the exercise-only group increased their cardiorespiratory fitness by an average of 10 percent compared to a 1.5 percent increase among participants also prescribed statins. Additionally, skeletal muscle mitochondrial content, the site where muscle cells turn oxygen into energy, decreased by 4.5 percent in the group taking statins while the exercise-only group had a 13 percent increase, a normal response following exercise training.
Thyfault suggests that future research determine whether lower doses of simvastatin or other types of statins similarly affect people's exercise outcomes and thus their risk for diseases such as Type 2 diabetes. Starting a statin regimen after exercising and obtaining a higher fitness level may reduce the drugs' effects on fitness, he says.

Non-Communicable Diseases Account for Half of all Adult Female ...
May 14, 2013
While global attention has for decades been focused on reducing maternal mortality, population-based data on other causes of death among women of reproductive age has been virtually non-existent. A study conducted by researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health found that non-communicable diseases accounted for 48 percent of 1,107 investigated female deaths in rural Bangladesh between 2002 and 2007. The findings lend urgency to review global health priorities to address neglected and potentially fatal non-communicable diseases affecting rural women in South Asia. The study is published in the May 2013 edition of the British Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology.
?While reducing mortality from pregnancy remains a high priority, these findings highlight the need to address and reduce the risk of death unrelated to pregnancy among women of reproductive age. The causes and risk factors need to be better understood to design interventions to reduce risk, likely focusing on nutrition, health education, early screening and health care for rural women in their prime of life,? said Alain Labrique, PhD, assistant professor in the Bloomberg School?s Department of International Health and lead author of the study.
?Beyond pregnancy - the neglected burden of female mortality in young women of reproductive age in Bangladesh: a prospective cohort study? was written by Alain B. Labrique, Shegufta S. Sikder, Lee Wu, Mahbubur Rashid, Hasmot Ali, Barkat Ullah, Abu A. Shamim, Sucheta Mehra, Rolf Klemm, Hashina Banu, Keith P. West, Jr., and Parul Christian.

Financial support for the research was provided by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to the Center for Human Nutrition in the Department of International Health at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. Original trial support came from the U.S. Agency for International Development, with additional support from the Sight and Life Research Institute.

Factories inside collapsed building in Bangladesh
The collapse of a building housing garment factories near Bangladesh's capital is renewing attention on the unsafe conditions in the country's $20 billion industry that supplies clothing retailers around the world. Here's a look at the factories in the Rana Plaza building and the retailers they say they were working for.
THE FACTORIES
? Ether Tex was located on the fifth floor. Its website, now offline, says its 530 workers made up to 960,000 pieces of clothing a year. It claimed to have a passing grade for safety and other business standards from SOCAM, a group that audits garment factories on behalf of European fashion company C&A. The company said its customers included retail giant Wal-Mart.
? New Wave is a group of three companies that says it makes shirts, pants and other garments for U.S., Canadian and European retailers. New Wave Bottoms was on the 2nd floor, and New Wave Style occupied the sixth and seventh floors. The New Wave website lists 27 retailers as its main customers. The list includes Spain's Mango, Dress Barn of the U.S., Canada's The Children's Place, and the Asian arm of Benetton based in Hong Kong.
? Phantom Apparels operated a factory called Phantom-TAC in conjunction with Spain's Textile Audit Company on the fourth floor. The Phantom-TAC website says it is "committed to reaching a high standard of working conditions." It claimed to have a comprehensive auditing system that allowed it to "monitor and analyze daily the conditions in our factory." The 20,000-square-foot factory could make up to 3 million garments a year. It does not list its customers.
? None of the factory owners have been contactable despite repeated attempts to reach them.
RETAILERS
? Wal-Mart, the world's largest retailer, said it had no authorized production at the factories. If the company finds there was unauthorized production as a result of subcontracting it said it would take action based on its zero tolerance policy for that.
? Primark, a British retailer with more than 250 stores across Europe, says it was being supplied by a garment producer on the second floor.
? The Children's Place used one of the garment factories in the building but said it wasn't being supplied by it at the time of the collapse.
? Dress Barn said it hadn't used garment factories at the building since 2010.
? Benetton said none of the factories were its suppliers.
? Mango said it hadn't bought clothing from Rana Plaza factories but said it had been in talks with one factory to produce a test batch of clothing.
AT THE DISASTER
? An Associated Press reporter found clothed labeled with the following brands in the rubble: Saddlebred, Easycare Oxford, Next, Tweeti.com, LcWaikiki.
LABOR GROUPS
? Charles Kernaghan, executive director of the Institute for Global Labour and Human Rights, which has an office in the Bangladesh capital Dhaka, says his staff is investigating. "You can't trust many buildings in Bangladesh," Kernaghan said. "It's so corrupt that you can buy off anybody and there won't be any retribution."
