The Human Rights Commission of Pakistan (HRCP) said that the killing of Sindhi nationalist leader Muzaffar Bhutto, one of the prominent victims of forced disappearance in Sindh, and the brazen attack on a peaceful political rally in Karachi, appeared to be the latest manifestations of violent suppression of political debate, and in the absence of effective measures, can plunge Sindh into Balochistan-style mayhem. The statement further states, “HRCP is alarmed at these Balochistan-style disappearances and now the dumping of bodies is expanding to Sindh. One hopes that the authorities have learned their lesson by now and would desist from relying on the illegal practice of picking up citizens and holding them in violation of law in the country. The courts should also take note of the disappearances and order recording statements of those who have come back from captivity with a view to bringing the perpetrators to justice.”
