While talking to Sunrise Today here on Sunday, Saeed Ahmad Khan Advocate stated that actually the common folk did not know about the law and their basic rights that’s why they faced torture and harassment in different cases at police stations, or at public places, however, if we would educate them about law and human rights, there would be no issue at all on the part of public.
He said that there was a dire need for guiding the public on the need and importance of understanding law and fundamental rights to safeguard ourselves from violence and torture of police, adding that the police must differentiate between the criminals and innocent citizens as the police department was the hope and safeguard of the public.
