Muneer a. Malik

Muneer A. Malik (Muneer is also spelled Munir) is a very prominent Pakistani lawyer.He is the former President of the Supreme Court Bar Association of Pakistan, SCBA. He was the leader of the legal defense team of Chief Justice of Pakistan Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry when the latter was illegally dismissed by general Pervez Musharraf.

He was arrested after Musharraf declared a state of emergency, initially admitted at Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences on 25th November 2007, seriously ill and under treatment for kidney failure with dialysis. He was transferred to Sindh Institute of Urology and Transplantation in Karachi, where he still requires renal replacement theray in the form of hemodialysis. Some reports indicate that he has developed liver dysfunction also. It is unknown if he has acute renal failure versus chronic renal failure stage 5 requiring dialysis. Acute renal failure can be caused by a condition called 'Rhabdomyolysis' which can be as a result of muscle damage associated with physical abuse and beating which he has refuted. However, he complained about psychological abuse, laying for prolonged periods in one posture can lead to pressure necrosis of muscles causing release of myoglobin and rhabdomyolysis. On the other hand,chronic renal failure stage 5 can be progression of diseases like diabetes and hypertension. It is unknown what kind of renal failure this stalwart lawyer suffers from. Dehydration caused by denying access to fluids can be a causative factor in rhabdomyolysis induced renal failure and so is certain drugs toxicity like statins for hypercholestrolemia. With acute or chronic renal failure on dialysis he is immunosuppressed and vulnerable to life threatening sepsis or and pneumonia. Imran Khan has expressed his grave concerns about his health and has blamed government for his ill health.He has criticized government to deny him of access to clean drinking water when he was under arrest in Attock jail.He said he would hold government responsible if (god forbid)anything is to happen to Muneer A.Malik. Any false imprisonment in a civilized society is subject to civil and or criminal litigation. Without a probable cause even President of the United States is not immune for such actions. However, the doctors at the Pakistan Institute of Sciences (PIMS) conducted a toxicology screen and ruled out any foul play.One of the lawyer leaders,Athar Minallah Advocate,is on the Board of PIMS. The Pakistan government reportedly has denied any role in Munir's illness and has attributed it to his chronic alcoholism resulting in Cirrhosis of the liver and subsequent liver-kidney failure called Hepatorenal syndrome.Munir Malik has not pursued any charges against an individual or the Pakistani government and neither has sought an independent medical opinion.
