Pakistanis In Danger! 553 People Killed In Terror Attacks In 2022: Human Rights Commission Report

Pakistan is shrouded with dark clouds of terrorism. Several people lost their lives during terror attacks in the country. According to the latest report by the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan (HRCP), News International cited, approx 553 people were killed amid the terror attack and 2,210 disappearances cases are still unsolved in Pakistan.

Human Rights Commission of Pakistan Report

In the flagship annual report on the state of human rights in the country, the data revealed that most of the cases of disappearance are from Balochistan (2,115) and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (3,369).

The report also cited last year’s flood destruction. It said that 33 million people were affected by the floods; however, these problems were overshadowed by the selfish and petty political melodramas of politicians.

Women in Pakistan still in danger

Stressing the horrifying numbers of inhuman crimes against women in Pakistan, the HRCP data said that the year 2022 was no different with 4,226 women surviving rape and gang rape.

There is no ‘room for optimism’ or ‘hope for the future’ seen in the country, it added.

Economic crisis took the lives of several

Whilst Pakistan is still battling a severe economic crisis, the report revealed that the status of human life has been deteriorating every year. The crisis has led people to lose their lives while running and fighting for their basic bread. Survival in the country is becoming more difficult year after year.

The report also stressed on rising persecution of transgender persons. It revealed how the tussle between Pakistan’s opposing political forces and the dispute between institutions has further worsened the lives of ordinary people.

Despite that, the HRCP noted that some progressive legislation has taken place.

Child labour to Workplace harassment

This progressive legislation, the report points out, has come in both the centre and provinces and pertains to the minimum wage, harsher punishments for employing children as labour, and attempts to resolve issues such as harassment at the workplace, reported News International.

However, the law protecting transgender persons, which was passed in 2018, received a huge backlash with the community under attack from various sources.

The report particularly painted a bleak picture of the extent of the use of political disputes and the use of sedition, a colonial aid era law, to punish people often over petty matters, the destruction of graveyards belonging to minority groups, the resurgence of terrorism, and the continuing lack of the basic freedoms of speech, assembly, housing to the people of Pakistan, according to the News International.
