While acknowledging the state’s responsibility to protect VIPs and prominent individuals, the BHC stated that the basic human rights of the citizens also held significance.

The Balochistan High Court (BHC) said that closing down roads, shops and schools during the VIP movement without providing a substitute was inappropriate.

The BHC urged for providing appropriate security measures that would allow the provision of basic human rights and free movement to the citizens.

It is pertinent to mention that a citizen, identified as Naimatullah, had filed a constitutional petition at the BHC in 2018 against the security protocols during the VIP movement.

The petitioner maintained that the closure of the educational institutes and businesses during the visits of the prime minister and president was against basic human rights.
