Whatever Happened to Human Rights
Lets not forget these shameful images, they represent a problem far beyond (now civilian) Musharraf or the current state of emergency. Can innocent protesters in any civilized society be beaten like this by police? Can helpless females (who happened to be sisters of a national hero Imran Khan) be manhandled by male police officers in a civilized world?
The video continues to talk about how Imran Khan feared for his life in Jail and also interviews Jamima Khan in the middle. This should serve as a wakeup call for the Pakistani society. The worst part is that its not only Musharraf who could have ordered such brutality, but any person in power can unleash these uneducated police officers on the common man. What we need is not just freedom from the state of emergency and freedom from Musharraf, but we need to review the very definition of human rights in the country and then take measures to strictly enforce laws to protect basic human rights.
