ISLAMABAD: Members of the Parliamentary Committee on National Security (PCNS) of Pakistan conducted an ‘in-camera’ discussion with Lord Carlyle, a British lawyer and an expert on anti-terrorism laws, yesterday in Islamabad.

The meeting is being held to meet Lord Alexander Charles Carlyle, a practising barrister from the UK and a former independent reviewer of British anti-terrorism laws and to discuss legislation with respect to terrorism. The meeting took place at a time when the government has already introduced “the Investigation for Fair Trial Bill, 2012”, in the National Assembly “to provide for investigation for collection of evidence by means of modern techniques and devices to prevent and effectively deal with scheduled offences and to regulate the powers of the law enforcement and intelligence agencies” to deal with terrorism.
