26/11 terror attack

While the focus during the prolonged trial and eventual execution of the alleged perpetrators of the 26/11 terror attack was on Qasab, the acquittal of Faheem Ansari who was a co-accused, by the honourable Supreme Court, would have made slain lawyer Shahid Azmi very happy. Shahid who was once detained under TADA, made it his life’s mission to defend TADA detainees. Ansari was one of the terror accused whom Shahid Azmi had defended against terror charges. Shahid’s family feels terribly hurt by the fact that he is almost forgotten today.
