HRCP condemns harassment of girl student

KARACHI, Aug 03 2006: The Human Rights Commission of Pakistan (HRCP), in a statement issued to the press, strongly condemned the physical harassment and misconduct with a girl candidate appearing in the LL.B. examination at Islamic Learning Department of Karachi University by varsity employees. The Commission demands stern action against the offending employees for harassing a girl student. An educational institution with the stature of a university must provide a conducive and enabling environment for learning, free from fears of harassment.

The concerned employees have been suspended and an inquiry committee set up, while HRCP believes that the Karachi University should file an FIR immediately against the culprits to ensure justice for the aggrieved student.
