Die Human Rights Commission of Pakistan ruft dazu auf, die pakistanischen Autoritäten mittels Eingaben unter Druck zu setzen, um die Freiheit von fünf inhaftierten und gefolterten Mitgliedern der Labour Party Pakistan (LPP) und der Progressive Youth Front (PYF) in Gilgit im von Pakistan besetzten Teil von Kaschmir zu erreichen:
„Five political activists are being tortured in Gilgit jail, Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan. These political activists who were in jail for the last many months are facing very harsh treatment for protesting against the poor quality of food and delay in hearing of cases of prisoners at the jail. They have been incarcerated for protesting on behalf of the victims of forced displacement on account of the Attaabad landslide in January 2010.
On April 28, 2012 five political activists were visited by police and security agencies in jail and they were tortured on dubious charges of leading the protest in prison. One of the activists’ Baba Jan suffered two broken fingers and injuries to his head and other parts of his body. Despite the orders of the court Baba Jan and other victims have not been examined by doctor and not been hospitalized in violation of court orders.“
