The report consists of 53 recommendations made to the concerned state authorities, the judicial bodies and civil society. Speaking at the press briefing held to publish the report, the President of HRCM, Mr. Ahmed Saleem stated that the core of this serious social problem is the fact that laws and regulations required to fully uphold the rule of law is yet to be discussed and approved by the parliament.
