Responding to a bombing near a vegetable market in Lahore that has claimed the lives of at least 11 people, Amnesty International’s Pakistan campaigner, Nadia Rahman, said:
“This is a horrific attack that was targeted at ordinary people and has caused an appalling loss of life. The authorities must immediately order an independent and effective investigation. The victims of the bombing deserve justice. The perpetrators must be held accountable in line with international human rights standards.”
