May 25: Amnesty International states that Pakistan has secured historic advances for the rights of people in the tribal areas along the Afghan border with the passage of a new constitutional amendment that breaks with disgraceful laws rooted in the colonial era, Amnesty International said today. The passage of the constitutional amendment marks the second time this month that the Pakistani parliament has united across deep political divides on key human rights issues, coming on the heels of the Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Act.
