CONTEMPORARY FORMS OF SLAVERY IN PAKISTAN
Human Rights Watch
July 1, 1995 40 page report
Here is a brief excerpt:
Throughout Pakistan employers forcibly extract labor from adults and
children, restrict their freedom of movement, and deny them the right
to negotiate the terms of their employment. Employers coerce such
workers into servitude through physical abuse, forced confinement, and
debt-bondage. The government of Pakistan is complicit in these abuses,
both by the direct involvement of the police and through the state's
failure to protect the rights of bonded laborers. It rarely prosecutes
or punishes employers who hold workers in servitude, and workers who
contest their exploitation are often imprisoned under false charges.
We call on the government of Pakistan to comply with its own national
laws as well as with international human rights and labor laws
outlawing bonded labor, to ensure that all workers are allowed to
organize and be represented by unions, and to prosecute to the full
extent of the law employers who have held workers in bonded labor and
those who have physically or sexually abused bonded laborers.

Persecuted Minorities and Writers in Pakistan
Government efforts to Islamicize Pakistan's civil and criminal law,
which began in earnest in the early 1980s, have dangerously undermined
fundamental rights of freedom of religion and expression, and have led
to serious abuses against the country's religious minorities. Several
hundred people have been arrested under these laws since 1984, and two
men, a Christian and a Muslim, have been sentenced to death for
blasphemy.

Police Abuse of Women in Pakistan
June 21, 1992
"In "Double Jeopardy: Police Abuse of Women in Pakistan," released
today, Asia Watch and the Women's Rights Project, two divisions of the
New York-based Human Rights Watch, charge the government of Pakistan
with responsibility for an epidemic of unpunished police violence
against women. The 106-page report finds that more than 70 percent of
women in police custody are subjected to physical and sexual abuse by
law enforcement agents, yet not a single police official has been
subjected to criminal penalties for such abuse."
