For the first time in recent years, Britain’s latest annual Human Rights Report made passing references to India but continued to express concern over the situation in Pakistan, particularly in relation to misuse of blasphemy laws and discrimination of religious minorities.
India had figured prominently in previous reports on issues of reported attacks against women, children’s rights, criminalisation of homosexuality and corruption. The 2016 report released on Thursday makes three references to India.
It noted that in 2016, there were “deliberate internet shutdowns in more than 50 countries, including Ethiopia, India and Uganda”. It also mentioned Britain funding for women’s rights projects in India and hosting an Indian delegation on the issue of violence against women and girls.
