ISLAMABAD: The Human Rights Commission of Pakistan (HRCP) expressed grave concern over the recent violent clashes between the Pakistani security forces and the radical Islamist group Tehreek-i-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) in Muridke, Punjab province, which resulted in multiple deaths and injuries among protesters and police personnel.
According to the rights body, the violence followed days of unrest that began on October 8, culminating in an operation in the early hours of October 13.
The remarks came after four people, including police and civilians, were killed and 56 others injured in Muridke on Monday during violent clashes linked to the TLP’s long march.
