The Human Rights Commission of Pakistan (HRCP) has voiced serious concerns over the authorities failure to control protests in Lahore.
In a statement issued on Thursday, the HRCP said it was shocked over the way the government chose to shut down the city in an attempt to regulate the protest on Wednesday.”
“While agitations or protests are regulated the world over, that is not done through shutting down the traffic for an entire city,” the statement said. The people spent over three hours stuck in traffic, as they had neither been informed about the reasons nor about any alternative routes.
