PTI-HRC Chairman Riaz Fatyana said that human rights are the fundamental rights of every human and the Government of Pakistan has failed to ensure these for its citizens. The Govt also failed to implement articles 8 to 28 of the Constitution of Pakistan, which provides state???s guarantee to the people of Pakistan regarding their fundamental rights. Pakistan is also signatory of UN Convention against torture but unfortunately physical and mental torture is common in Police Stations.
PTI-HRC will approach relevant court of law under article 199 of the Constitution of Pakistan to protect and safe guard human rights in Pakistan and overseas, he further added.
