“There are two things. There was the moral responsibility, and that, first, is creating an atmosphere where the security forces can kill with impunity, where they can turn up at a place, shoot seven people - really at point-blank fashions - and then get away with it and be, in fact, promoted.

My aunt's government forbade us, initially, from filing a police report - which is every Pakistani citizen's right under the law.”
