HRCP is deeply concerned by reports of a fresh spate of violence in Rawalakot in AJK, with allegations of casualties among both protesters and law enforcement personnel. As raised in our fact-finding mission to AJK earlier in August, we reiterate that the federal and AJK governments must prevent the situation from deteriorating further and immediately begin a meaningful dialogue to address citizens' concerns. The media must also be given unhindered access to report from the region independently. The priority must be to prevent any loss of life and resolve the situation through political dialogue rather than by force.

Evidence. Evidence. And evidence.

For over two decades, our Knowledge Management System (KMS) has been building a rich record of Pakistan’s human rights landscape. As a watchdog, we don't just track individual incidents, we identify patterns and trends over time.

Because what is documented can be tracked. What is tracked can be understood. And what is understood can be challenged.

HRCP is deeply disappointed by the ten-year prison sentences handed down to human rights lawyers @ImaanZHazir and Hadi Ali Chattha by an anti-terrorism court in Islamabad. The use of anti-terrorism provisions, coupled with a trial inside Adiala jail and state-appointed counsel, raises serious concerns about proportionality and the right to a fair trial. We call for the verdict to be set aside on appeal and for the couple to be released immediately.
