HRCP appalled by PM Imran s remarks linking incidence of rape to obscenity, demands apology AFP/ File
The Human Rights Commission of Pakistan (HRCP) on Tuesday said it was appalled by Prime Minister Imran Khan s remarks linking the incidence of rape to obscenity. This is unacceptable behaviour on the part of a public leader, said the body in a statement. Not only does this betray a baffling ignorance of where, why and how rape occurs, but it also lays the blame on rape survivors, who, as the government must know, can range from young children to victims of honour crimes. We demand an immediate apology and renewed commitment on the government s part to tackling rape as it should as an act of violence, of power, the statement added.
