They also submitted a petition to the Prime Minister David Cameron against human rights violation especially recent rise in crime against women in Pakistan. The news and photos of demo were received by this scribe last night. ISWO also showed deep concern about recent live burning cases of young girls and murders because of their choice of marriage with their own will.

ISWO requested British Government to implement clauses to support women's rights before giving financial aid to Pakistan that Pakistani government ensures that women's rights are protected and that special funds are granted to support and protect women of abuse and those at risk and to take serious action against those involved in these heinous crimes.
