Five outgoing commissioners of the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) have issued a stark warning following the repeal of key ordinances and the reinstatement of the NHRC Act of 2009. They contend that this legislative change, which occurred last Thursday when Parliament passed a bill repealing ordinances from the interim government's tenure, critically undermines the NHRC's independence. The commissioners argue that government forces will now investigate their own alleged rights violations, placing victims of enforced disappearances and participants of the July uprising at significant risk. They refuted parliamentary claims about protections for "July warriors," clarifying that the July Mass Uprising (Protection and Liability Determination) Ordinance, 2026, offered specific protections that are now jeopardized. Furthermore, they corrected misinformation regarding penalties for enforced disappearances, stating the 2025 Enforced Disappearance Ordinance allows for the death penalty and life imprisonment, and that the International Crimes Tribunal Act is insufficient for isolated disappearance cases.
