Govt fomented violence: HRW
ISLAMABAD: The government deliberately stoked the political violence in Karachi which left 15 people dead ahead of a rally by the chief justice, Human Rights Watch said on Saturday.
The New York-based watchdog said the government of Pervez Musharraf and the government of Sindh had failed to ensure security for its citizens while police were “silent spectators” to the bloodshed. “The prevention of a peaceful reception for the chief justice by Musharraf’s supporters demonstrates the military government’s intolerance for civil society actions and has triggered widespread violence and death,” said Ali Dayan Hasan, Human Rights Watch’s South Asia researcher. afp
