Human Rights Watch (HRW) is playing a very important role in this day and age. Non-governmental organisations (NGOs) are a strong part of it but violation of human rights can be blatantly seen in the city of Karachi where target killings and kidnappings are nothing new. However, what is new is the desecration of dead bodies a shameless act. This is an act that is prohibited in Islam very strictly but it is going on openly in the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. Why are such people so powerful? Who is supporting them? If someone is from Liyari, why do they feel so insecure?

Human Rights Watch (HRW) on Monday urged Myanmar to investigate the failure of police to stop a recent wave of Buddhist-Muslim killing and arson attacks. The New York-based rights watchdog released satellite images which it said showed more than 800 buildings were totally destroyed in the central town of Meiktila, leaving several charred areas where homes and properties once stood.

The rebel force active in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo has dismissed as "cruelly biased" a UN report that denounced a poor human rights record and led to UN sanctions against the group. The Movement of March 23 (M23) rebels have been fighting the army since May in the fertile but highly unstable North Kivu province. A UN report published late last year accused the rebels of serious atrocities such as rape, murder and forced recruitment. The UN experts also accused Rwanda and Uganda of backing M23, an allegation that the neighbouring countries deny.
