Rashid Rehman: standing for peace

RIP Rashid Rehman

Pakistan-India Peoples’ Forum for Peace and Democracy (PIPFPD), India chapter has expressed shock and grief at the murder of Rashid Rehman, a leading human rights activist “who stood for peace and friendship between India and Pakistan”.

“His killing is an irreparable loss to the human rights and secular movement in Pakistan,” said PIPFPD, flaying the attack in the lawyer’s office in Multan last Wednesday by two men who shot him dead. Mr Rehman was coordinator of Multan chapter of Human Rights Commission of Pakistan (HRCP). PIPFPD demands that criminal proceedings be launched against the lawyers who threatened Mr Rehman and that his killers be arrested.
