ISLAMABAD: The torture of a minor girl employed in the residence of acting judge, ignited uproar in the country as Child Rights Movement (CRM)
and large number of civil society activists, organisations
and networks from all over Pakistan protested to strongly condemn the cruelty the little girl had to face.
In a statement, the civil society activists also condemned the ‘so-called’ resolution of the case against the judge
and his spouse, demanding the concerned authorities for the long-term solution to prevent the future brutality against children. “This case has yet again highlighted the evident evils in Pakistani society, its laws
and the justice administration system”, the statement added.
We had not forgotten the barbarism in the video of the Kasur children,
and now, we a
re shown heartlessness from a serving judge who broke several laws, but walked away free, after reachi
ng a so-called “compromise”
and “forgiveness” agreement with the child’s parents.
“There is a failure of justice every time the compromise
and forgiven
ess loophole in the law is exploited, as in this case by the judge
and his spouse, as a con
venient tool, employed mostly against the poor
and downtrodden by the rich
and powerful in Pakistan”, the statement concluded.
