Today, March 1st, 2013, a human rights
organization in Pakistan was banned by Muslim extremist groups.
The organization, the Association of Global Humanists and
Ethics Pakistan, has been working in the Asian country since it was registered
on September, 2005. This organization works on the issues of women rights, girl’s
education, child rights, and peace building.
As the association carries and completes its projects to achieve
its goals for the above human rights issues in Pakistan, the fundamental Muslim
groups give forces the association to stop its activities because the Muslim
groups do not appreciate such activities for human rights.
The Muslim groups reacts to the human rights activities with
armed force in order to stop educate females and to use children for the Muslim
groups’ labors. If Pakistanis do not follow the fundamentalists’ decisions and
acts, the group threats the social weak.
Women’ right to get
education has been banned by Muslim groups, consisted of men, in Pakistan.
As the Muslims prevent females and children’s access to get
education by physical threats, the extremists want to take control over the
social “minorities.”
If the weak group gets education and so becomes aware of
such unfair and inhumane treatments by the Muslim fundamentalists, the fundamentalists
cannot control the society as well as they wish.
The action of extremists has been “supported” by some Pakistanis
provincial governments. Such actions related to the provincial government’s
strength the fundamentalist groups who are killing people in the name of Islam.
The current human rights issue is not only on the education
problems but also on the rights of living, just living. Physical threats to
life should not be happening and so international support for the basic human
rights in Pakistan is needed immediately.
