said Wednesday.
Jahangir made the allegation in a television interview on June 4, 2012, the HRW said in a blurb.
Pak authorities should urgently and thoroughly investigate the alleged plot against Asma Jahangir and hold all those responsible to account, regardless of position or rank, said Ali Dayan Hasan, Pakistain director at Human Rights Watch.
"A threat against Jahangir is a threat to all those in Pakistain who struggle for human rights and the rule of law."
Jahangir told news hounds on June 4 that through a security leak brought to her attention by a highly credible source, she had discovered that an liquidation attempt was being planned against her from the highest levels of the security establishment.
She said that she thought it best to go public with the information as she feared that she could be killed and a member of her family framed for the murder.
