Dr Toqeer Gilani retweetledi
HRCP is alarmed by the arrest of several political workers in Gilgit-Baltistan protesting the continued detention of Ehsan Ali, chairperson of the Awami Action Committee, and the detention of at least two Sindhian National Congress workers, including Rizwan Memon, in Hyderabad. The suppression of peaceful dissent has become a knee-jerk reaction on the part of the state and raises serious concerns about due process and the abuse of public order laws. The authorities must release all those detained for peaceful protest and refrain from criminalising dissent.
