Islamabad, December 27, 2024 – Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has issued a directive for the immediate arrest of individuals involved in human trafficking, setting a one-week deadline for authorities to take action.
Government’s Stance on Human Trafficking
Expressing dissatisfaction with current measures, the Prime Minister emphasized the need for more effective prosecution mechanisms to ensure justice. He also called for stricter enforcement of visa verification and travel regulations to prevent illegal migration.
Formation of a Special Committee
To address the issue comprehensively, a committee led by the Interior Minister has been established. This body is tasked with formulating sustainable solutions to eradicate human trafficking from the country.
Recent Actions Against Human Trafficking
This directive follows recent actions where the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) registered cases against traffickers and arrested its own officers for negligence in screening processes. Such incidents have highlighted the need for stringent measures and accountability within enforcement agencies.
Public Cooperation and Reporting
The government urges citizens to report any suspicious activities related to human trafficking to the authorities. Public cooperation is deemed essential in combating this heinous crime and protecting vulnerable individuals from exploitation.
