Legal workshop held at TMUC

Islamabad
Students organised a legal workshop at The Millennium University College (TMUC), Sector H-11/4, says a press release.
The workshop was an interactive session between students, faculty and members of the legal fraternity on various areas of criminal law.
University of London Country Adviser Saad Wasim was present on the occasion.
The workshop commenced with an introductory session in which students and faculty members introduced themselves. They were asked to tell the audience where they see themselves in five years. All students undergoing the LLB (Honours) University of London International Programme were present and other than them almost 50% of the participants were newcomers.
After the introductory session, the workshop formally started. The participants were given a detail of the facts and judgment of the R V Ahluwalia (1992) case, which was a controversial trial based on the defence of provocation. The participants were asked to give their opinion on the judgment given, and whether it was reasonable to give Kiranjit Ahluwalia the defence of diminished responsibility.
Another activity was also arranged for the participants in which 4 groups were made. These groups were told to prepare their arguments for and against the abolition of death penalty in Pakistan. The groups were given 15 minutes to prepare their arguments. After 15 minutes, they held a productive debate and arguments on the issue. Many participants swapped their positions by joining the opponent group after they were convinced by their arguments.
In the end, Dean (Academics) Safia Farooqi and Head of International Programmes Kholah Malik presented the participants with certificates of participation. During the certificate distribution, the dean of academics asked the participants about their views on the activities. The feedback from them was positive and motivating -- they thoroughly enjoyed the activity.
