We remain concerned about reports of human rights abuses in Pakistan. Our concerns
are reflected in the latest update to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office annual human
rights report. We continue to urge Pakistan to honour in practice all its human rights
obligations and uphold the rule of law. During his visit to Pakistan in March, the
former Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, my right hon. Friend
the Member for Runnymede and Weybridge (Mr Hammond), raised the importance we attach
to safeguarding the rights of all Pakistani citizens regardless of ethnicity, faith
or gender.
