He reminded Pakistan’s government about its obligation to take action against those who violate human rights. “We will not hesitate from raising our voice against human rights violations,” he said. Sherman, who has been fulfilling responsibilities in the foreign affairs committee for 26 years, further said that Pakistan should allow its citizens to express themselves and hold peaceful protests, The News.pk reported.
