🚨 STATEMENT — South Asia Rights Watch 🇵🇰
South Asia Rights Watch strongly condemns the violent assault carried out by members of the Joint Awami Action Committee (JAAC) at CMH Rawalakot.
CCTV footage shows JAAC members storming the hospital and attacking patients, as well as injured police and Federal Constabulary personnel receiving medical treatment.
Hospitals and medical facilities must remain protected spaces at all times. Any attack on patients, healthcare staff, or wounded individuals is unacceptable and undermines the rule of law.
We call for a transparent investigation, accountability for those responsible, and immediate measures to ensure the safety of civilians, medical workers, and security personnel.
Violence is never the path to justice.
