HRCP sees systematic sabotage of democratic process
[Dawn] A leading Pak human rights...which are often intentionally defined so widely as to be meaningless... watchdog has expressed serious concerns over what it terms the systematic attempts to exclude candidates from elections and to sabotage people's ability to elect candidates of their choice or to hold them to account. "It is manifestly clear now that the latest process of scrutiny of candidates is a witch-hunt aimed at harassing and humiliating candidates," the Executive council of the Human Rights Commission of Pakistain (HRCP) said in a statement on Saturday. "It undermines the essence of what democracy entails and shows a complete lack of faith in the people's right and ability to choose their representatives." Posted by: Fred 2013-04-07 |
