Pak rights commission report editor’s house raided

ISLAMABAD: The Human Rights Commission of Pakistan on Friday condemned a “burglary-style raid” on the house of its consultant, Maryam Hasan, who edited the recently released annual report on the state of human rights in Pakistan. In a statement, the non-governmental organisation stated that the house of Hasan, who lives alone in Lahore, was raided on Thursday night during a burglary that lasted for over an hour. The two “burglars” took away her laptop, phones, two hard drives, jewellery and some cash. “They told Hasan, who lives alone, that they had also come the day before, but not committed burglary since she had not been at home,” the statement read. “They questioned Hasan about her professional engagements and intimidated her in a roundabout manner” before leaving.
