LAHORE: The Human Rights Commission of Pakistan (HRCP) is deeply concerned at tension between two key Institutions of the state, and deprecates the sustained assault on the judiciary.
A statement issued by the HRCP said the court's verdict finding Gen Pervez Musharraf guilty of treason sets an important precedent. The objections to paragraph 66, and the storm it has created, should not depreciate the main body of the judgment.While reiterating its opposition to the death penalty in all cases, the Commission also urges all state Institutions to remember that they have pledged their loyalty to the Constitution. This is the bedrock of Pakistan’s democracy and of the state’s duty to protect the fundamental rights of its people.
