QUETTA: The Human Rights Commission of Pakistan (HRCP) Balochistan chapter staged a demonstration outside the Quetta press club on Tuesday to protest against the deteriorating law and order situation in the province. Activists were seen carrying banners and placards with slogans against the government and its functionaries for their failure to maintain peace in the province. Addressing the demonstration, HRCP Balochistan chairman Tahir Hussain said that rights groups had been raising their voice against the worsening state of human rights in the province for the last couple of years but the government had turned a deaf ear to this assessment. They have failed to take practical steps for bringing peace, he said. The HRCP Balochistan called on the federal government to take concrete steps for restoring durable peace in the province.
