A shocking incident has sparked outrage and demands for justice! The Human Rights Commission of Pakistan (HRCP) has stepped forward to advocate for the rights of Imran Khan’s sisters, who were allegedly mistreated by police during a peaceful protest. But was it really a peaceful protest?
The HRCP took to social media to shed light on this incident, revealing that Imran’s sisters were reportedly ‘manhandled’ by police officers. This incident occurred outside Adiala Jail, where Imran Khan, the founder of the PTI, is currently imprisoned. The HRCP’s statement emphasizes the fundamental rights at stake: the right of prisoners’ families to visit and the right to peaceful assembly, both protected by national and international laws.
Here’s where it gets controversial. According to witness and media reports, the police intervened in what seemed to be a peaceful protest, allegedly using physical force. This has raised concerns about the excessive use of power by law enforcement. The HRCP is calling for a thorough investigation, urging authorities to respect the rights, safety, and dignity of all individuals involved.
The PTI’s protest outside the jail, where they were denied access to Imran Khan, led to a sit-in and accusations of the prison administration violating court orders. The party’s social media post claims that Imran’s sisters, including Aleema Khan, Noreen Niazi, and Dr. Uzma Khan, were not only subjected to violence but also detained by the police.
This incident has ignited a debate about the balance between maintaining order and respecting human rights. While the HRCP advocates for a transparent inquiry, some argue that the protest may have crossed legal boundaries. What do you think? Is this a clear-cut case of police overreach, or are there nuances to consider? Share your thoughts below, but remember to keep the discussion respectful and constructive.
