Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Pakistan: “Most” human rights violations “are committed by the government institutions”

Apr 21, 2018 6:44 pm By Robert Spencer

“The watchdog reported an increase in enforced disappearances, blasphemy-related violence and attacks on religious minorities in the past year.”

One would think that an Islamic Republic would be a paradise of peace and tolerance. Have “Islamophobes” somehow seized power there?

“Pakistan rights worker ‘intimidated’ in alleged house raid,” WebIndia123, April 21 2018:

Activists have raised concern over the security of rights workers in Pakistan following a “burglary-style raid” on the house of the editor of an annual report on the country’s state of human rights, a Al Jazeera report said on Saturday.

The Human Rights Commission of Pakistan (HRCP) said in a statement that two armed men broke into the house of Maryam Hasan in Lahore on Thursday, just days after the release of the critical report she had edited.

The men “took away her laptop, two hard drives and two mobile phones, as well as some jewellery and cash,” HRCP said in a statement on Friday.

The non-profit rights group added that the burglars told Hasan that they had also come the previous day, but left since she was not home at the time.

According to HRCP, the alleged perpetrators questioned Hasan about her profession and “intimidated” her in a “roundabout manner”….

In its report, which was published on Monday, HRCP highlighted the “grim markers” of the state of human rights in the country in 2017.

In its yearly review, HRCP questioned Pakistan’s commitment to protecting human rights in the country, despite being elected to the United Nations Human Rights Council for the 2018-2020 term.

The watchdog reported an increase in enforced disappearances, blasphemy-related violence and attacks on religious minorities in the past year.

He said that “most” human rights violations that occur in Pakistan “are committed by the government institutions”.

“So, you can’t solve the problem, because the government itself is responsible for those violations,” he told Al Jazeera in a phone interview from Lahore….

    No professional thief would want anyone to be home. This was totally political.

      Human rights in Muslim countries???
      Just not going go be the norm. So much stupidity in Islam. Time for the sane world, any way , what’s left of it, to start pushing back. Quit letting fear of ISLAMAPHOBIA stop them from making what’s wrong, right.

    Pakistan: “Most” human rights violations “are committed by the government institutions”
    ……………….

    Grimly, this is true–this is what life is like under Shari’ah.

    Maryam Hasan is a brave woman, but–sadly–will never be able to make any realy headway with human rights in the Muslim world, because it is considered un-Islamic.

    The Jihadi movements, under the guise of bringing Sharia, will never get subsided. The only possible action from the non-muslims should be to create a counter Jihadi force which should be aggressive enough to eliminate the Jihadis, the craziest human right violators in the entire world. If governments, can not see the impending danger to free society where human values are held uppermost, the only solution should come automatically from the public. In many parts of the world the state apparatus have become either docile / ostrich like/ or totally insensitive to the sufferings of the freedom loving people. It calls forth a real time awakening process which should not be delayed any more. In precise terms the non-muslims are in real time danger. Where immigrants are systematically inducted in countries, a strict letter of undertaking should be obtained from immigrants (each and everyone without any exception) that the inducted immigrants shall, without fail, accept and abide by the law of the land and that they would be deported to their home countries if they violate the law of the land.

      This isn’t a guise, Abinvam–Muslims really do want to impose brutal Shari’ah law on everyone. Besides the “fun” of murdering Infidels, that is the whole purpose of Jihad.

    Since Pakistan is an Islamic Country with Islamic Sharia law and most of the population of Pakistan is Muslim. There is a situation where non-muslims have few or no rights at all. This is a country that has severe persecution against Christians, Hindus and other minorities. As long as Islamic Shariah law rules this country, the bad situation with Human Rights will not end.
