(I have tendency to collect human stories for long time. Here is one story I collected about 18 years ago. It was written in Urdu. You may not feel anything but this story tear my heart even today. It is a story of a young boy who refused to give bribe of 500 rupees and end up in jail for long time in treason case - a norm in country like Pakistan. All names, characters and situation are true!).
Bhutta village, Kemari (Karachi's slum) ki Zeenat Bai ka 20 saala naujawan larka - Haroon Rasheed - jis ne Atari ki sarhad per (train border between India and Pakistan used by poor people to go to India to meet their family) - "riwayati" 500 rupe ki rishwat custom waloN ko dene se inkaar ker diya. NatijataN custom waloN ne "mulk dushmani" (treason) ka case bana ker use fauj (army) ke hawale ker diya. Dhai mah (2.5 months) baad fauj ne police ke hawale ker diya. - aur larka Jackson, TPX, Mangho-peer aur SITE ke thane phirta raha aur tasshadud (terror) ka neeshna banta raha.
Ma ne Sindh High Court ke Chief Justice se insaaf maanga to police ne chalan bana ker case Speedy Trial Court (Court created by General Zia to lynch political enemies) main daakhil ker diya aur Justice Wajjehuddin Ahmad aur Justice Muhammas Aslam Arain ne case Sindh High Court se khaarij ker diya
Kise wakeel karain, Kis se Munsafi ChahaiN (Faiz)
Kiya alfaz in daagoN ko Dho sakte hain.

You are so right. Justice is what is lacking, no matter what kind of Government it is. I am disgusted with such "democracy' or 'autocracy' and it is not limited to Pakistan
