HRCP calls for end to ethnic tension in Sindh

Lahore, 15 July 2022. The Human Rights Commission of Pakistan (HRCP) is increasingly concerned by the escalation in ethnic and political tension in Sindh, after a man was killed in Hyderabad following an altercation at a hotel.

HRCP calls for the murder to be investigated fairly and transparently and for the Sindh government to take steps to control crime and violence in the province. At the same time, it falls to the authorities as well as to all progressive voices in Pakistan to shun divisive or racist rhetoric.

HRCP intends to conduct a fact-finding mission to ascertain the evidence surrounding the murder of Bilal Kaka and ensuing ethnic tension.
