Horrifying incident of sexual torture, humiliation, abuse, & violation of oath by @KP_Police1. This isn’t an isolated incident; there’s a pattern of abuse & torture that Police in Pakistan routinely employs to humiliate & extract confessions extra-judicially. #JusticeForAmir
The fact that police officials recorded video of stripping a man naked, making sexual comments, & asking him to apologise shows they’re aware of impunity bolstered by inaction against abuse of authority. Let this be an example for police NEVER to repeat this again #JusticeForAmir
Pakistan currently criminalises use of torture to obtain evidence under Article 14(2) of Constitution, but torture still isn’t criminalised. Pakistan is signatory to Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment #JusticeForAmir
A law titled The Torture and Custodial Death (Prevention and Punishment) Act 2019 was introduced by @sherryrehman & currently is with the Senate Secretariat. Such a strong law against torture & custodial killing must be passed as soon as possible #JusticeForAmir
Until a law against torture is introduced & law enforcement departments are held accountable, we will continue to see cases such as #NaqeebullahMehsud, #SalahuddinAyubi, & #JusticeForAmir, & officers such as #RaoAnwaar live with impunity, & torture cells & safehouses flourish.
Request @ShireenMazari1, @Mustafa_PPP, @BBhuttoZardari, @sherryrehman, @MalBokhari, @ShazadAkbar, @AyeshaRaza13, to work to legislate criminalising torture by law enforcement to protect dignity of Pakistani citizens & ensure due process as guaranteed by Constitution.
