Extrajudicial killings

Author: Daily Times

Sir: It is no longer enough to condemn police brutality. We must speak out against the use of torture as a policing technique in Pakistan. The negation of the rights and dignity of one citizen is the negation of the rights and dignity of every citizen. This is because it is not the human being who has been violated, but the principles that guarantee you and I protection that have been undermined.

Let us redeem our humanity by speaking out against the intolerable attitude of the Punjab Police and demand sweeping reforms.
