Forman Christian College University (FCCU) has alleged that the Punjab government forcibly took over its historic Ewing Hall in Lahore’s Anarkali area on Thursday, June 11.

FCCU said it was directed to remove all movable property and that staff and residents were evicted from the site. The university, which claims a long-term lease of the building, said it was given short notice. The Punjab government, however, said the building will be restored and not demolished.

HRCP is deeply concerned by reports of the forcible takeover of Ewing Hall, a building of historical, educational, and cultural significance in Lahore long associated with @FCCollege. The college authorities allege that they were issued an abrupt deadline by the Punjab government to vacate the premises, without meaningful consultation or adequate opportunity to safeguard historical materials.

This raises serious questions about transparency, due process, and the stewardship of shared heritage. Any decision affecting sites of such significance must not be taken unilaterally or under conditions that create the risk of irreversible loss. Given concerns that the building may be altered or demolished, the physical integrity of Ewing Hall must be protected at all costs.

The Legal Aid Society (LAS) released a report titled “From Missing Evidence to Fragile Evidence” at a local hotel in Karachi, which presented a detailed review of the investigation and prosecution system of rape cases in Sindh from 2020 to 2024.

On Wednesday, May 20 the Senate Standing Committee on Human Rights held a meeting, chaired by Senator Tahir Khalil Sindhu, where the issue was discussed. During the meeting, the police spokesperson claimed that 88 accused had been named in the case so far, while the investigation was still ongoing. However, Senator Sindhu raised strong objections to this and said that according to the report submitted to the Supreme Court, more than 5,000 people had been involved in the incident, while it was questionable as to how only 88 accused were included in the report presented in the committee.

'We have become an anti-poor state, where the rich live and the poor are pushed away,' says HRCP secretary-general Harris Khalique, on the demolition of historic villages and residential settlements that authorities consider 'illegal' as Islamabad's 'anti-encroachment' drive continues.

[Human Rights Commission of Pakistan @HRCP87]

HRCP strongly condemns the arrest of several organisers and volunteers of @AuratMarchKHI from outside the Karachi Press Club, where they were scheduled to address a press conference. This incident is not isolated overreach but rather part of a broader and deeply troubling pattern: the systematic denial of public space to citizens seeking to articulate their rights.

The rights to peaceful assembly and freedom of expression are constitutionally guaranteed. Preventing citizens, particularly women and marginalised groups, from even convening a press conference reflects an increasingly repressive approach to governance, where dissent is treated as a threat rather than a democratic necessity.

[Aurat March - عورت مارچ @AuratMarchKHI]

We’re raising money to transport women from working-class neighbourhoods to the March.

Aurat March takes no funding from corporations, government, political parties, or NGOs. happens every year with contributions from supporters and immense voluntary labour by feminists.

We condemn the verdict of the Federal Constitutional Court in the case of Maria Shahbaz, a 12 year old minor Christian girl subjected to the crimes of abduction and child marriage.

The FCC has turned down her fathers plea to rescue her, and has condemned her fate in the custody of her abductor while ratifying her alleged conversion to Islam. We take serious exception to this illegal verdict which shall only embolden miscreants to perpetuate the crimes of forced conversion of faith of minor girls of religious minorities under the garb of child marriage.

In Islamabad, CDA is attempting to displace thousands of people living in predominantly-Christian informal settlements. Many of the affected families are Christian sanitation workers who have long served the very city now forcing them out.
