We have received 514 human rights complaints in 2015, out of which 500 were successfully disposed of,” said a Director, Human Rights Directorate, KP, Noor Zaman Khattak. He was speaking at a seminar under a title “Awareness of Human Rights” organised by Human Rights Directorate in collaboration with KP Civil Society Network on Thursday.
The official said that currently only 14 human rights violation complaints are pending in the directorate. He said first the provincial government in 2012 established the first-ever Human Rights Directorate through executive order. Then in 2013 an ordinancewas issued for running the affairs of the directorate.
