Instructions for the research project

• Conduct a thorough research on election campaigns in your country focusing
on how citizens cope with discrimination and violations of human rights.
• Write a research report on your findings by using headings and sub-headings
below
Activity 1
Read the case study below and answer questions thereafter.
Concerns around violence against political parties and candidates ahead of
Pakistan elections
Ahead of Thursday’s parliamentary elections in Pakistan, we deplore all acts of violence against
political parties and candidates, and urge the authorities to uphold the fundamental freedoms
necessary for an inclusive and meaningful democratic process. In the lead-up to the vote, there have
been no less than 24 reported instances in which armed groups have staged attacks against
members of political parties who holding election campaigns and manifesto launch throughout the
country. Pakistan’s democratic gains over the past 15 years have been hard-won in the face of many
security and economic challenges. Elections are an important moment to reaffirm the country’s
commitment to basic human rights and democracy, and to ensure the right to participation of all its
people, including women and minorities. We are disturbed therefore by the pattern of harassment,
arrests and prolonged detentions of leaders of the Pakistan Tehreek e Insaf (PTI) party and their
supporters which have continued during the election period. Multiple legal cases have been brought
against former Prime Minister Imran Khan, which have disqualified him as a candidate and sentenced
him to long prison terms. We expect the higher courts will carefully review these conclusions in line
with applicable due process and fair trial rights, and Pakistan’s wider international human rights
obligations. All eligible parties must be able to compete fairly.
Glossary
Deplore – Feel or express strong disapproval
Minorities – Parties with small number of members
Prolonged detentions- - Arrested for longer periods
