FIA report on shelter homes ‘unsatisfactory’
Plea accuses welfare organisations of abuse, marriages of orphans in shelter homes
The Sindh High Court has summoned the Sindh Child Protection Authority chairperson, women development department s Hyderabad deputy director, Karachi AIG Ghulam Nabi Memon, and the Investigation DIG in personal capacity over a plea pertaining abuse and marriage of orphan girls in custody.
A single bench of the high court, comprising Justice Salahuddin Panhwar, heard the plea implicating shelter homes run by the Edhi Foundation and others on Monday.
The petitioner s counsel alleged that the administration of Edhi Welfare Organisation tells people to take the body of a dead child when they are approached for child adoption but never hands over a living child. There are many people who want to adopt children and are capable of providing a better upbringing, argued the counsel.
