The United Nations Special Rapporteur on Torture, Alice Jill Edwards, has issued a powerful statement condemning the inhumane treatment of Bushra Bibi, the wife of former Prime Minister Imran Khan, who is currently being held in prison. She emphasized that the conditions in which she is being kept are far below international standards and pose a grave threat to her physical and mental health.
This shocking neglect and cruel treatment highlight Pakistan’s blatant violation of basic human rights. Instead of ensuring humane conditions, the Pakistani authorities are subjecting Bushra Bibi to inhumane treatment that endangers her life and dignity. Such acts expose the brutal and oppressive nature of the regime, which continues to crush dissent and violate the fundamental rights of individuals, especially women.
The world watches as Pakistan’s authorities ignore international laws and standards, displaying a clear disregard for human decency. The treatment of Bushra Bibi is a stark reminder of the regime’s ruthless suppression and total disregard for justice and humanity. Immediate action and accountability are desperately needed to stop this cruelty.
