Gratitude to Chairman

Wasim Burhan, member of the Commission expressed gratitude to the Commission’s Chairman, Pyare Khan, for taking the initiative that led to the inmates’ release. He said the prisoners had remained behind bars despite being granted bail because of their financial difficulties.

Burhan said that during a recent visit to Arthur Road Jail led by Chairman Pyare Khan, Commission representatives identified several inmates who were unable to secure their freedom solely because they lacked the means to pay the required bail amount. Following discussions and efforts undertaken under the chairman’s guidance, financial assistance was arranged for seven inmates, enabling them to furnish bail and secure their release.
