More HRW Nonsense
Oh, good! More idiocy from Human Rights Watch!
Now, there are two issues here. The first is that Human Rights Watch stopped being credible a long time ago.
The second is that it's not the FBI's job to investigate things outside the United States, except in certain well-defined circumstances. If this is anyone's responsibility, it's the State Department's. It would be nice if the BBC could get these things right every once in a while. (Then again, it would also be nice if they got their "news" from sources more reliable than Human Rights Watch.)
American FBI agents have been accused of "turning a blind eye" to the alleged torture of two US citizens of Pakistani origin by Pakistan's security services.
The international pressure group, Human Rights Watch (HRW) said that the brothers were routinely tortured, and that US agents did nothing to stop it.
HRW said that Zain and Kashan Afzal were interrogated on at least six occasions during an eight-month period.
Neither the US nor the Pakistani governments have reacted to the claims.
