"Similarly, the premise of the question about visa conflates two separate matters, NICOP issuance and visa processing. As the Defence Minister has already clarified, Mr Niazi's sons do not require Pakistani visas if they hold NICOPs. Under Section 12 of the NADRA Ordinance, 2000, a NICOP serves as official proof of Pakistani citizenship for overseas Pakistanis and permits visa-free entry into Pakistan. Therefore, if their stated purpose is simply to visit Pakistan, a NICOP is the relevant travel document. Presenting the matter as a denial of entry, while simultaneously referring to NICOP status and a visa request, is misleading and appears to convert an administrative process into an issue of political point-scoring.Mr Niazi's detention conditions also substantially exceed the minimum facilities available to prisoners in the same category. The convict has been housed in an exclusive seven-cell compound designed for approximately 30 to 35 prisoners. The facility includes a 57 x 14 foot corridor and a 35 x 37 foot lawn, together with a bed, mattress, four pillows, blankets, table, chair, sanitation facilities and exercise equipment. The convict receives separately prepared meals from a menu selected and financed on his behalf, including meat, chicken, fruit, milk, nuts, juices and bottled water. These arrangements bear no resemblance to the picture of isolation, neglect or punitive deprivation being presented publicly.Legal access also remains governed by law. Repeating a sweeping claim without examining the records does not make it true, and broadcasting it without the documented context would mislead CNNs audience.There is also an evident double standard in the attempt to portray Mr Niazi as uniquely committed to family rights and judicial accountability. In the 1997 Los Angeles paternity proceedings concerning Tyrian Jade White, Mr Niazi did not contest the case, and a default judgment was entered declaring him her father. That historical matter does not determine his present legal entitlements, but it is relevant when politically charged assertions about family responsibility and respect for judicial processes are advanced without context.The Government remains bound by the Constitution, prison law and court directions. Mr Niazi is entitled to every protection available under law, but he is not entitled to a separate legal regime, political communication from prison, or immunity from security regulations / prison rules. The verifiable record, not rhetoric or unsubstantiated allegations by politically motivated parties, should guide CNNs reporting."
