Human Rights Protection Foundation (HRPF) Raises Serious Concerns and Demands Immediate Relocation of Passport Office to District Complex in Mandi Bahauddin
The Human Rights Protection Foundation expresses its appreciation for the establishment of the District Complex in Mandi Bahauddin, which was developed to facilitate public access to essential government services under one administrative zone. The initiative reflects a progressive and citizen-friendly approach by the authorities.
At present, the District Complex accommodates almost all major provincial government departments, the district judiciary and courts, the Regional Office of the Punjab Ombudsman, and the District Headquarters Hospital. In addition, the general bus terminal and vegetable market have also been relocated near the same complex. This integrated administrative and public service structure has significantly improved convenience for the residents of the district and surrounding rural areas.
The Human Rights Protection Foundation acknowledges this development as an important step toward administrative efficiency, accessibility, and public welfare.
However, it is deeply concerning that the Passport Office of Mandi Bahauddin has been established outside the main District Complex area, inside a private housing society and at a considerable distance from the central public service zone. This decision has created serious hardships for ordinary citizens, particularly daily wage earners, laborers, senior citizens, women, patients, and residents from remote villages.
Since the main transport terminal has already been shifted outside the city, reaching the Passport Office now requires additional travel expenses and time. In the current period of inflation and economic hardship, these extra costs have become unbearable for many poor and deserving citizens. Access to passport services is not a luxury but a basic administrative necessity connected with employment, education, medical treatment, overseas travel, and legal identity documentation.
Several political, social, and civil society representatives have also expressed strong reservations regarding the current location of the Passport Office and have demanded immediate corrective measures in the public interest.
The Human Rights Protection Foundation has formally conveyed its concerns to the relevant higher authorities and emphasized the seriousness of the matter. HRPF respectfully urges the Government of Punjab and the concerned federal authorities to take immediate notice of this public issue and relocate the Passport Office from the private housing society to the main District Complex, where all other major public institutions are already functioning.
Relocating the Passport Office to the District Complex would:
Improve accessibility for the public
Reduce unnecessary transportation costs
Facilitate senior citizens, women, and disabled persons
Ensure administrative coordination among departments
Strengthen transparency and public confidence
Promote equal access to essential government services
The Human Rights Protection Foundation firmly believes that public offices should be established at locations that prioritize public convenience, accessibility, affordability, and transparency rather than private interests.
The competent authorities are requested to address this matter urgently in the larger interest of the people of Mandi Bahauddin.

Violence by Armed Goons Against a Poor Citizen in the Jurisdiction of Miana Gondal Police Station Raises Serious Questions for Police Administration
The Human Rights Protection Foundation Pakistan (HRPF) strongly condemns the horrific and inhumane incident reported within the jurisdiction of Miana Gondal Police Station, District Mandi Bahauddin, where an orphaned minor child, Zaheer Abbas son of Bashir Ahmad, belonging to a poor labourer family, was allegedly abducted from his home by influential landlords’ violent youths and brutally tortured near a canal.
According to the reports, the child was subjected to severe physical violence and left in a critical condition. Visible torture marks on the child’s body reflect the extreme brutality and cruelty inflicted upon him. It is deeply disturbing that the accused reportedly recorded videos of the torture while continuing their violent acts and are now allegedly threatening the victim’s poor family with serious consequences.
This is not merely an attack on one innocent child. It is an attack on humanity, justice, and the rule of law. When vulnerable and poor citizens are denied protection and justice, fear, insecurity, and mistrust in state institutions grow within society.
Human Rights Protection Foundation Pakistan demands immediate and strict action from the senior police authorities, and Mandi Bahauddin Police. HRPF urges the authorities to immediately register an FIR against the nominated accused persons, ensure their prompt arrest, provide full protection to the affected family, and bring all those involved to justice under the law without any discrimination or political influence.
HRPF further demands a transparent and impartial investigation so that the victimized child and his family may receive justice and public confidence in the justice system can be restored.

Human Rights Protection Foundation Pakistan. (HRPF) Pakistan
Comprehensive Report: Press Freedom in Pakistan (2025–2026)
Date: May 3, 2026 (World Press Freedom Day)
Executive Summary
Press freedom in Pakistan remains under sustained strain. While there has been a slight improvement in global rankings over the past year, the overall environment is still marked by deep structural challenges. Journalists continue to face political pressure, threats to their safety, restrictive legal frameworks, economic instability, and an atmosphere that often encourages self-censorship.
The Human Rights Protection Foundation (HRPF) maintains that a free and independent press is essential to any functioning democracy. Without it, accountability weakens, public trust erodes, and governance suffers. This report draws on credible national and international sources to present a grounded assessment of the current situation, along with practical recommendations.
1. OVERALL CONTEXT:
Pakistan’s media landscape reflects a complex mix of resilience and restriction. On one hand, journalists continue to report under difficult circumstances. On the other, systemic issues limit their ability to operate freely.
Key concerns include:
Persistent political influence over editorial content
Financial pressures that affect media independence
Legal tools that can be used to curb dissent
Security risks, particularly in conflict-prone regions
Even where incremental progress is visible, it does not yet translate into meaningful freedom on the ground.
2. KEY CHALLENGES:
A. Safety of Journalists
The physical safety of journalists remains a serious concern. Incidents of targeted killings, assaults, and intimidation continue to be reported. Certain regions, especially those affected by conflict or political instability, pose higher risks.
A -MAJOR ISSUE IS THE LACK OF ACCOUNTABILITY.
Many cases of violence against journalists remain unresolved, which not only denies justice to victims but also creates a climate of fear across the profession.
B. LEGAL REGULATORY CONSTRAINTS:
A number of laws and regulatory practices have had a restrictive effect on media freedom. Broad and vaguely defined provisions allow room for selective enforcement, particularly against critical voices.
Regulatory authorities exercise significant control over broadcast content, and journalists reporting on sensitive topics may face legal action. In addition, digital restrictions such as platform blocking or internet disruptions further limit access to information.
These practices raise concerns about compatibility with constitutional protections and international commitments to freedom of expression.
C. ECONOMIC PRESSURES AND SELF-CENSORSHIP:
Financial vulnerability is one of the less visible but deeply influential challenges. Many media organizations depend heavily on government advertising or politically linked funding sources.
This often leads to cautious editorial policies, where journalists and editors avoid controversial subjects to protect their positions. Over time, this weakens the role of the media as an independent watchdog.
D. Enforced Disappearances and Intimidation
Reports of abductions, harassment, and surveillance of journalists have contributed to an environment of uncertainty. Even isolated incidents can have a wide psychological impact, reinforcing self-restraint across the media sector.
This broader climate of fear limits open discourse and discourages investigative reporting.
3. POSITIVE DEVELOPMENTS:
Despite the challenges, there are some areas of cautious progress:
A slight improvement in international press freedom rankings
Growth of digital and citizen journalism offering alternative perspectives
Continued advocacy by civil society organizations
Increased participation of women in media and regulatory roles
While these trends are encouraging, they remain insufficient without deeper institutional reforms.
4. RECOMMENDATIONS BY HRPF:
Legal Reforms
Review and amend laws affecting freedom of expression to ensure clarity and fairness
Remove or redefine vague provisions that allow arbitrary application
Introduce specific legal protections for journalists and their sources
Protection and Accountability
Establish an independent body to investigate crimes against journalists
Ensure timely prosecution and accountability
Provide safety training and support systems for media professionals
Economic Independence
Promote transparent and diversified funding models for media organizations
Reduce reliance on government advertising
Encourage fair competition and diversity in media ownership
Digital Rights
Ensure uninterrupted access to the internet
Avoid blanket restrictions on digital platforms
Promote transparent and rights-based digital regulation
Capacity Building
Strengthen professional training for journalists
Introduce awareness programs for law enforcement regarding press rights
Support regular monitoring and reporting mechanisms
International Engagement
Engage constructively with international human rights mechanisms
Seek technical support for improving media protections
Encourage global partnerships to strengthen press freedom standards
Conclusion
The state of press freedom in Pakistan reflects a broader struggle between control and openness. While there are signs of resilience within the media community, the overall environment continues to limit free expression.
A genuinely free press is not optional. It is a necessary condition for transparency, justice, and democratic progress.
The Human Rights Protection Foundation reaffirms its commitment to advocating for the protection of journalists and the promotion of free expression. On this World Press Freedom Day, we recognize the courage of those who continue to report the truth despite the risks involved.

Human Rights Protection Foundation Pakistan. (HRPF) Pakistan
On the occasion of International Labour Day (May Day) 2026, the Human Rights Protection Foundation (HRPF) Pakistan extends its full solidarity with the working class of Pakistan and workers worldwide. This day commemorates the historical struggles of labourers for fair wages, decent working conditions, and fundamental rights. It serves as both a celebration of workers' contributions and a powerful call to address persistent exploitation and inequality.0b6f1d
In Pakistan, workers form the backbone of the economy — powering agriculture, industry, textiles, construction, services, and remittances that reached significant levels in recent years. Yet, millions continue to face systemic challenges that violate their dignity and constitutional protections under Articles 9, 11, 17, 18, and 25 of the Constitution of Pakistan.
Current Situation of Workers in Pakistan
Despite recent labour law reforms, including the consolidation of laws in provinces like Punjab (Punjab Labour Code 2026) and efforts supported by the ILO, the ground reality remains concerning. Key issues include:ffcf0c
Low and Stagnant Wages Amid Inflation: The federal minimum wage remains at PKR 37,000 per month (unchanged in the 2025-26 budget), while provinces like Punjab and Sindh have set it around PKR 40,000 for unskilled workers. However, rapid inflation has eroded real wages, making it difficult for families to meet basic needs. Many workers, especially in the informal sector, receive even less or face illegal deductions.
Large Informal Sector: A vast majority of workers operate in the informal economy without job security, social protection, written contracts, or benefits such as pensions, health insurance, or maternity leave. This includes domestic workers, agricultural labourers, and daily-wage earners.
Unsafe Working Conditions: Weak enforcement of occupational safety and health (OSH) laws leads to frequent accidents, particularly in construction, mining, brick kilns, and textile factories. Recent studies highlight rampant violations in textile hubs like Karachi and Faisalabad, including excessive hours and lack of protective equipment.
Bonded Labour and Child Labour: Despite being illegal, bonded labour persists, especially in brick kilns, agriculture, and carpet weaving, affecting an estimated millions in conditions akin to modern slavery. Child labour remains a serious issue, with children engaged in hazardous work, domestic labour, and other sectors, depriving them of education and a safe childhood. Estimates suggest significant numbers of children are involved, exacerbated by poverty and weak enforcement.
Limited Unionization and Collective Bargaining: Many workers face barriers to forming or joining trade unions. Recent labour code reforms have raised concerns among rights groups about potential restrictions on freedom of association and the right to strike, which could undermine worker protections in line with ILO standards.
Other Challenges: Discrimination (including against sanitation workers), lack of access to healthcare and welfare schemes, arbitrary terminations, and inadequate social security coverage for informal and contract workers.
Pakistan's ratification of key ILO conventions in 2025 (including the Protocol to the Forced Labour Convention) signals positive intent, but implementation and enforcement gaps persist across provinces.
HRPF's Analysis and Reform Agenda
HRPF views these issues not merely as economic problems but as fundamental human rights violations. True national development cannot be achieved while workers — who sustain the economy — remain marginalized.
HRPF urges the Government of Pakistan (federal and provincial), employers, trade unions, civil society, and international partners to take immediate and concrete action on the following priorities:
Effective Enforcement of Labour Laws: Strengthen labour inspection systems with digital tools, increase penalties for violations, and ensure regular monitoring, especially in high-risk sectors.
Living Wage Linked to Inflation: Revise minimum wages annually to reflect real cost of living. Aim for a fair living wage that allows workers and their families to live with dignity (calls have been made for significantly higher thresholds, e.g., around PKR 75,000 in some analyses).
Formalization of the Informal Sector: Extend social security (EOBI, social health insurance) to informal, gig, and contract workers. Promote written contracts and portable benefits.
Complete Elimination of Child and Bonded Labour: Implement strict enforcement, rehabilitation programs for affected families, access to education, and alternative livelihoods. Focus on root causes like poverty and lack of social protection.
Occupational Safety and Health (OSH): Adopt and enforce comprehensive OSH standards, particularly in line with ILO conventions. Prioritize high-risk industries.
Protection of Freedom of Association: Safeguard workers' rights to unionize, collectively bargain, and strike without undue restrictions. Ensure meaningful tripartite consultation in any labour law reforms.
Social Protection and Gender Sensitivity: Expand maternity benefits, healthcare, pensions, and protections against discrimination, with special attention to women, sanitation workers, and vulnerable groups.
Skills Development and Overseas Labour: Support safe migration, skills training, and welfare for overseas Pakistani workers while prioritizing decent work opportunities at home.
HRPF's Commitment and Ongoing Work
As a registered non-profit organization dedicated to human rights in Pakistan, HRPF remains committed to:
Advocating for policy reforms through research, reports, and engagement with stakeholders.
Providing legal awareness, support, and assistance to affected workers where possible.
Monitoring labour rights violations and raising awareness through campaigns, including on May Day.
Collaborating with national and international partners (including alignment with ILO goals) to promote decent work and social justice.
We believe that a just society is one where every worker is treated with respect, receives fair compensation, and works in safe and dignified conditions. No sustainable progress is possible without centering the rights of the working class.
Solidarity Message
On this May Day 2026, HRPF honors the resilience, hard work, and sacrifices of Pakistan’s workers — from factory floors and fields to construction sites and homes. We stand in solidarity with the global labour movement.
We call upon all stakeholders to move beyond rhetoric and deliver tangible improvements in the lives of workers. Let this May Day become a turning point for meaningful labour reforms in Pakistan.
Workers of the world, unite for dignity and justice!

🚨 ISSUE: Handcuffing Minor Children at the Office of the Assistant Commissioner Islamabad — A Grave Violation of Law and HUMAN RIGHTS:
Strong Condemnation & Serious Concerns by Human Rights Protection Foundation (HRPF)
The incident of presenting 7–8-year-old minor children in handcuffs at the office of the Assistant Commissioner Islamabad is deeply disturbing, inhumane, and a blatant violation of both national and international legal standards. Such treatment undermines the dignity, self-respect, and fundamental rights of children, which must be protected at all costs in a civilized society.
📜 LEGAL FRAMEWORK (JUVENILE JUSTICE & HUMAN RIGHTS LAW):
Juvenile Justice System Act, 2018 (Pakistan) clearly prohibits handcuffing or humiliating treatment of minors and mandates a rehabilitative approach
Article 14 of the Constitution of Pakistan guarantees the inviolability of human dignity
Article 25(3) obligates the State to provide special protection for children
UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) prohibits degrading treatment and ensures protection of a child’s psychological well-being
⚖️ HRPF CONCERNS:
Handcuffing minor children is a direct violation of juvenile justice laws
Treating children as criminals contradicts the spirit of justice
Use of quasi-judicial authority by an executive magistrate raises serious legal questions
Such actions may cause long-term psychological harm to children
📢 HRPF DEMANDS:
Immediate, transparent inquiry
Strict action against responsible officials
Enforcement of juvenile protection laws
Training of law enforcement on child rights
Psychological rehabilitation of affected children
🔴 CLEAR MESSAGE:
Children are not criminals. They are a responsibility of the State. Handcuffing them is not justice — it is a violation of humanity.

“INDEPENDENT JOURNALISM IN PAKISTAN MEANS PLAYING WITH DEATH: HRPF CONDEMNS ATTACK ON PFUJ (WORKERS) OFFICE AND ASSAULT ON PRESS FREEDOM”
Human Rights Protection Foundation Pakistan. (HRPF)
In Pakistan, practicing independent journalism has increasingly become synonymous with risking one’s life. Freedom of the press has been systematically stifled, creating an environment where journalists face intimidation, harassment, and violence for simply fulfilling their professional responsibilities.
The Human Rights Protection Foundation (HRPF) unequivocally, strongly, and unconditionally condemns the attack on the office of the Pakistan Federal Union of Journalists (Workers), along with the continued harassment of journalists and all attempts to suppress press freedom. Journalism stands as the cornerstone of any civilized and democratic society. Journalists are the voice of the people, custodians of truth, and a vital link between the state and its citizens. An attack on their offices and intimidation of media professionals is not merely an isolated incident but a direct assault on democratic values, fundamental human rights, and freedom of expression.
Any attempt to silence journalists or obstruct their professional duties is, in effect, an attempt to silence the truth itself. Such actions foster a climate of fear, insecurity, and uncertainty, undermining public trust and weakening democratic institutions. When journalists are unsafe, the fundamental rights of citizens, particularly the right to information and accountability, are equally at risk. An attack on journalism is an attack on the very foundation of an informed and empowered society.
HRPF considers this incident deeply alarming and calls for an immediate, transparent, impartial, and high-level investigation. Those responsible must be identified without delay and held accountable under the law, ensuring strict and exemplary punishment. Token condemnations are insufficient; what is urgently required are concrete actions, institutional protections, and unwavering legal accountability.
We further urge the relevant authorities to take immediate and effective measures to ensure the safety and security of journalists, union representatives, and media offices across the country. The state bears the primary responsibility to guarantee an environment free from threats, coercion, and undue pressure. Any failure in this regard, whether by action or inaction, compromises the rule of law and erodes the credibility of democratic governance.
HRPF calls upon journalists, human rights defenders, civil society, and responsible citizens across Pakistan to raise their voices against this alarming trend. Silence in the face of such aggression only emboldens those who seek to undermine truth and justice. A united, peaceful, and resolute response is essential to safeguard the principles of free expression and democratic integrity.
We express our full solidarity with the office bearers, journalists, and media workers of the Pakistan Federal Union of Journalists (Workers). Their struggle represents the defense of free expression, professional dignity, and democratic rights. HRPF stands firmly with them and reiterates that harassment, intimidation, or violence against journalists cannot and will not be tolerated under any circumstances.
The Human Rights Protection Foundation reaffirms that freedom of the press is a fundamental human right and an essential pillar of any democratic society. Its protection is both a moral obligation and a legal duty of the state. We once again strongly condemn this incident and call for immediate, effective, and sustained measures to ensure the safety of journalists, uphold press freedom, and bring all perpetrators to justice.

🚨 HUMAN RIGHTS ALERT | POLICE STATION KATHIALA SHEIKHIAN UNDER SCRUTINY – HRPF RAISES VOICE AGAINST POLICE BRUTALITY
The Human Rights Protection Foundation (HRPF) has formally raised serious concerns before the National Commission for Human Rights (NCHR), Islamabad regarding a shocking case of police misconduct, abuse of authority, and blatant violation of fundamental human rights by officials of Police Station Kathiala Sheikhian, District Mandi Bahauddin.
Chairman HRPF, Muhammad Yousaf Badar, has submitted a detailed complaint on behalf of an overseas Pakistani whose young student son became a victim of alleged police brutality and criminal conduct.
📍 Incident Overview
According to verified information received by HRPF, the victim, Usman Ashraf, a student of Punjab College and resident of Village Ghaniyan Sharif (Tehsil Phalia), was subjected to a horrifying incident on 1st April 2026.
After completing his routine classes at Vision Academy, Makke Wal, the student was intercepted by two police officials identified as Gulfam and Hamza, riding a motorcycle.
At gunpoint, one officer forcibly entered his vehicle and compelled him to drive. Near Kadhar Pul, they stopped at a deserted location where the victim was:
Dragged out of his vehicle
Illegally searched
Robbed of his iPhone 17 Pro Max and Rs. 5,500 cash
Forced to unlock his mobile phone
Upon discovering a transaction of Rs. 37,000, the officials allegedly threatened him with death and demanded more money.
⚠️ Serious Allegations
The accused officials further:
Recorded a video under coercion
Issued life threats
Warned the victim against reporting the crime
Threatened to implicate him in false narcotics cases
The entire incident was partially witnessed by the victim’s cousin, while the victim himself managed to record video evidence of the accused officers.
⚖️ Clear Violations of Law
HRPF has termed this incident as a grave example of:
Abduction
Illegal detention
Armed robbery
Criminal intimidation
Misuse of official authority
Such acts represent a dangerous abuse of power and a direct attack on the rule of law and public trust.
📢 HRPF’s Demands
HRPF has urged the National Commission for Human Rights to:
✔️ Initiate an immediate, impartial, and transparent inquiry
✔️ Ensure strict legal action against the accused officials
✔️ Register an FIR under relevant criminal laws
✔️ Recover stolen property and return it to the victim
✔️ Provide protection to the victim and witnesses
🚫 A Pattern of Abuse

✊ Call for Justice
This incident is not just about one victim. It reflects a broader issue of systemic abuse, lack of accountability, and erosion of citizens’ rights.
HRPF stands firmly with the victim and his family and will continue to pursue justice through all legal and constitutional means.

The Human Rights Protection Foundation Pakistan. (HRPF), under the leadership of its Chairman Muhammad Yousaf Badar, strongly condemns the cowardly attack on the residence of journalist Mr. Abid Naveed , representative of Samaa News in Tehsil Phalia.
This shameful act by miscreants not only violated the sanctity of home and privacy but also crossed all moral and legal boundaries by breaching the fundamental principle of “chadar and chaar deewari.” Such behavior is unacceptable in any civilized society and reflects a serious breakdown of law and order.
HRPF calls upon the District Police Officer (DPO) Mandi Bahauddin to take immediate and decisive action against those involved. This incident is not merely an attack on an individual journalist, but a direct assault on freedom of press and the fundamental right to speak the truth.
Attempts to intimidate journalists through violence and harassment are deeply alarming and must be addressed with zero tolerance. HRPF demands that the concerned authorities promptly register the case, ensure a transparent investigation, bring the perpetrators to justice, and provide full protection to the affected journalist and his family.
Furthermore, HRPF has formally raised this matter with international human rights organizations, including United Nations Human Rights Council, Amnesty International, and Human Rights Watch, urging them to take notice of this serious violation and support efforts for accountability.
HRPF stands firmly with journalist Abid Naveed and reiterates its unwavering commitment to defend human rights, press freedom, and justice at all levels.

🚨 Public Concern Report | Urgent Government Attention Required
Subject: Rapid Deterioration of Union Council Building – Mianwal Ranjha, District Mandi Bahauddin
Muhammad Yousaf Badar, Chairman of Human Rights Protection Foundation (HRPF), has formally highlighted a matter of serious public concern regarding the newly constructed Union Council Building located in Mianwal Ranjha, Tehsil and District Mandi Bahauddin.
This building, constructed with public funds, was meant to serve as a functional administrative facility for the local community. Unfortunately, due to continuous negligence, lack of oversight, and absence of routine maintenance by the concerned departments, the structure is rapidly falling into a state of disrepair.
If this situation is not addressed immediately, there is a real and imminent risk that the building may suffer irreversible structural damage. This would not only result in a waste of government resources but also deprive the local population of essential civic services.
Current Ground Situation:
The condition of the building reflects serious administrative neglect:
Furniture provided for official use is completely damaged and unusable
Washrooms are locked, non-functional, and unfit for both staff and public use
Paintwork and overall upkeep of the building are in a highly deteriorated condition
No proper maintenance system appears to be in place
A critical structural issue exists due to the absence of a proper roof drainage system
Rainwater accumulates on the roof, leading to seepage inside the building
This seepage poses a direct threat to the safety of official records and infrastructure
No responsible officer has reported or escalated this issue to higher authorities
Such negligence raises serious questions about accountability and monitoring within the relevant departments.
HRPF’s Urgent Demands:
In the interest of protecting public property and ensuring effective governance, the Human Rights Protection Foundation (HRPF) strongly urges the authorities to take immediate action on the following:
✔ Immediate repair and maintenance of the Union Council building
✔ Replacement of all damaged and unusable furniture
✔ Restoration and reopening of functional washroom facilities
✔ Installation of a proper rainwater drainage system on the roof
✔ Comprehensive renovation and long-term maintenance planning
✔ Fixing responsibility against negligent officials
This is not just a matter of infrastructure, but a matter of public trust and governance. Timely intervention can prevent further loss and restore functionality for the benefit of the local community.
Appeal:
We respectfully call upon the concerned authorities to take swift and decisive action to address this issue and ensure that public assets are protected and utilized effectively.
