M. Aslam Shaikh, Member Judicial-II, and Mr. Sarfaraz Jamali, Superintendent, Complaints and Inquires Sindh Human Rights Commission, led a delegation accompanied by the legal team of Pakistan Legal United Society & Legal Aid Office (Committee for the Welfare of Prisoners) visited the Central Jail in Hyderabad. The purpose of this visit was to assess the conditions within the prison and ensure the protection of human rights for all detainees.
The living conditions in the prison were reported to be substandard. This includes issues related to sanitation, hygiene, and access to basic amenities. Poor living conditions can have adverse effects on the physical and mental well-being of inmates.
The legal team accompanying Member Judicial-II (SHRC) assessed the provision of legal aid and the fairness of trials within the prison. Ensuring that inmates have access to legal representation and receive fair treatment during their legal proceedings is essential to upholding their rights.
The delegation also looked into the availability of rehabilitation and reintegration programs for inmates. Such programs are vital for preparing detainees to reintegrate into society successfully after serving their sentences.
