A Focus Group Discussion (FGD) ‘Independent Prosecution Service ¶Challenges and Solution’ was organized in Mianwali on March 14. The District Police Officer and District Prosecutor were among the participants who belonged to legal community, non-governmental organizations and media.

The participants discussed at length the role of an Independent Prosecution Service in Criminal Justice System and developed a consensus that a public prosecutor had a central role in dispensation of justice with a mission that no innocent person was punished and no criminal went scot-free.

However, they suggested that building an Independent Prosecution Service would not help unless a holistic approach was adopted to bring reforms in police service and judiciary so that all the three were on the same page.
