Pakistan Security Forces Win Human Rights Booby Prize

“We Can Torture, Kill, or Keep You for Years” | Human Rights Watch: "The 132-page report documents dozens of enforced disappearances, in which the authorities take people into custody and then deny all responsibility or knowledge of their fate or whereabouts. The report details 45 alleged cases of enforced disappearances, the majority in 2009 and 2010. While hundreds of people have been forcibly disappeared in Balochistan since 2005, dozens of new enforced disappearances have occurred since Pakistan returned to civilian rule in 2008."

I am hesitant to do more than point to human rights abuses for fear of being justly accused of not mentioning the complicity of the US in human rights abuses. So yes, we are not innocent either. The whole world needs to have a human rights congress and set new groundrules for a democratic world.
