\u00a0ISLAMABAD: On the occasion of International Day in Support of Victims of Torture, Pakistan has condemned the worst forms of torture against the people<\/span> of the Occupied Palestinian Territory and Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK).<\/span><\/p>\n

In a statement issued on Thursday, the Foreign Office<\/a> spokesperson, Shafqat Ali Khan, said, Pakistan stands in “solidarity with the victims of torture worldwide” and reaffirmed its continued commitment to eradicating torture and upholding human dignity.<\/p>\n

“The people of the Occupied Palestinian Territory and Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) continue to be subjected to the worst forms of torture and other cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment or punishment by the occupying powers to suppress their right to self-determination,” the FO statement read.<\/p>\n

It added that Pakistan remains gravely concerned at the “widespread and systematic use of torture as an instrument of oppression” in situations of foreign occupation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

“On this day, Pakistan reiterates its call on the international community to condemn the crimes of these occupying powers and to hold them accountable, in addition to helping end the plight of the victims of their torture and oppression,” he added.<\/span><\/p>\n

The spokesperson added that Islam upholds the sanctity and dignity of every human being. “Any act of torture or cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment is incompatible with the values of justice, mercy, and compassion that are at the core of Islamic teachings,” it read.<\/p>\n

He said that guided by these values and its international obligations, Pakistan remained committed to eradicating torture and strengthening protections for all individuals.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cLegal reforms, institutional safeguards, and oversight mechanisms continue to be strengthened by Pakistan to ensure accountability and uphold the rule of law. Measures are also being taken to provide victims with medical, legal, and psycho-social support,\u201d he remarked.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
