The Jam Saqi case was an incident in Pakistan in the 1980s, wherein several key Pakistani communists were charged with intent to overthrow the government and install a socialist system. At the time, Pakistan was under the martial law regime of General Zia-ul-Haq. This was the second case against the communists of Pakistan; the first was the Rawalpindi Conspiracy case instituted in fifties.
The main accused in the case were Jam Saqi, then Secretary General of Communist Party of Pakistan, Professor Jamal Naqvi, Amarlal, Sohail Sangi, Badar Abro, Kamal Warsi and Shabbir Shar. Jam Saqi was arrested on 10 December 1978 but was implicated in this case which was lodged about two years later. Naqvi, Abbasi, Warsi and Shar were arrested on 30 July 1980, while Sangi was arrested on 31 July 1980. Their colleague Nazir Abbasi was killed during interrogation while in custody.
These all were tried by a special military court at KMC Complex Karachi. They were charged with intent to overthrow the Pakistani government and install a socialist system, as in Afghanistan and the Soviet Union. Jam Saqi, Kamal Warsi and Shabir Shar were each awarded seven years imprisonment, while all others accused were acquitted.
