Sanity worker’s death activists demand judicial inquiry
Sanity worker’s death activists demand judicial inquiry: Human rights activists have demanded a judicial inquiry into the death of a sanitary worker, the worker who allegedly died after medical treatment was refused to him at a local hospital.
During a press conference held under the platform of Sindh Human Rights Defender on Wednesday, 14th June 2017, the activists have rejected the official inquiry saying that the inquiry was being partial to the accused.
39 Year old Irfan Maseeh along with three other sanitary workers; fell unconscious while cleaning a manhole in Umerkot. The workers had been pulled out by the local people who took them to the civil hospital, Umerkot, however the doctors at the civil hospital refused to provide Maseeh lifesaving treatment as his body was covered in sludge.
During the press conference, Advocate Ali Palh, peasant’s rights campaigner Punhal Sario along with other rights activists told that after their recent fact finding visit to Umerkot, they are certain the assistant commissioner-led inquiry will not provide justice to Maseeh.
Palh demanded “The judicial inquiry should investigate why Maseeh was not given treatment at the hospital as well as why sanitary workers are forced to work without safety equipment’s.”
A range of measures suggested by the activists suggested, including not only employment security of the sanitary workers but also the implementation of safety rules, demanding the provincial government to act without delay to prevent the a similar tragedy, for the saving of lives.
