I am a great admirer of Asma. She is honest, totally unafraid and a real patriot. Pakistan needs people like her and not the warmongers.

Good for Asma. But where were these human rights people, when anti state elements were killing Sri Lankan people. Sri Lanka Successfully managed to deal with this terrorism.

First take care of local human right violation than represent others. . Get the jailed TTP-ians, remain in jail for life. If you hv guts sit out and demand the justice. Think of those who survived to live with stigma. ..

im fan of asma jehangir.she is ray of hope for all oppressed people around the globe..may Allah Almighty give her long and healthy life.

Great honor fully deserved -- Asma is the conscience of an egalitarian Pakistan.

Sri Lanka is our ally. She should have refused the job.

@AHMAD Have you heard story (History)? In the beginning, there were kings, one king ruling tamils in the north of that Island, and another sinhala kin ruling the sinhalese. Then came the dutch & british, they defeated/subjugated those kings, joined two unequal populations under one administration, they ruled and plundered the wealth. And after many years those occupiers left that island, but didn't care about splitting the two people groups as it was before. And so the "majority people" (sinhalese) now used a tool called "democracy" and won all the presidential elections, and the minority was not represented in the judicial/police/millitary/political leadership. Thus came armed resistance which was always refered as terrorism. People need more wisdom. Moral of the story for Pak: Respect baluchi,sindhi etc; include other languages in your constitution(that is respect for those communities). Don't label all resistance as terrorism, include others in the power structure e.g was there baluchi president/priminister/army chief? sindhi? (I dn't know) Moral of the story for India: Respect all identities in your country; don't impose your language and "promote" that; when Asamese come to Delhi don't call them chinese. If possible include more language to recognized category. When you hear about ressistance (like naxalite) check if it because India's resources are allocated more to hindi belt/delhi rather than people living in hinterlands. Many indian communities are represented in indian power/civil institutions which is good.

Have nothing to say about fate of Tamil Tiger rebels, but we should hope Ms.Asma Jehangir will remember, at every stage of the investigation, the screams of those 40,000 innocent women and little children and infants before they were bombed to death in the drenches by the Sri Lankan army.

OK, God help Sri Lanka.

Great news.

I read it as "Asma nominated to UN team on human rights, abuses in Sri Lanka"

@Ayan on human rights abuses, in srilanka
