Pakistan Human Rights Commission highlights decline in civic freedoms, deteriorating law and order

The Human Rights Commission of Pakistan's 2024 report reveals a decline in civic freedoms, compromised elections, and a rise in terrorist incidents, particularly in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan. State-sanctioned violence persisted, with enforced disappearances and extrajudicial killings reported. Blasphemy accusations led to imprisonments and violence against minorities, while restrictions on freedom of expression and assembly intensified, highlighting challenges to dissent.
