PPP HR Cell condemns killing of young tribesmen in Kohistan

Radio Pakistan
The PPP Human Rights Cell has strongly condemned the revenge killing of three young tribesmen in Kohistan over the song video issue and demanded strict action against the culprits. A press release issued by the Cell said the killings took place with impunity because the earlier plea of Mohammad Afzal and his brothers went unheeded both by the courts and those who investigated the issue on the direction of the Supreme Court. The press release says the young men kept insisting that the women were killed but the report submitted to the Supreme Court stated otherwise and the court filed the report taking it to be true. It is clear that the report was neither factual nor sound. The PPP Human Rights cell has urged the Supreme Court to take the corrective action. The cell says Supreme Court must now ask the authorities to locate the women in the video‚ and if they are not to be located to charge the concerned with murder.
