WSC Report -Extrajudicial Killings – Jan 2015
The Sindhi diaspora is a group of cultures descending from an ancient and long standing civilization. Among ancient civilizations, Sindh was amongst the most advanced, but did not have the militarism of other nations. This peaceful history helped them survive several invasions, including by the UK. After the end of colonization in 1946, Sindhi became a part of Pakistan and has been marginalized by the new governing forces since then.
In spite of human rights laws, including the right to life in Article 4, Clause 2 (a) of the Pakistani Constitution, Sindhi activists have been kidnapped, tortured, and killed, especially in the last decade. In spite of these violations and the outcry of Sindhis in mourning and protest, the government is silent about these problems, refusing to speak about them or even acknowledge them.
