"If we can end impunity, adopt the rule of law, institutional reforms and respect for human rights, such incidents will decrease."

He said that human rights violations are recurring due to lack of coordination among state bodies, delays in justice and weak implementation, and informed that the provincial government is committed to solving such problems.
