RAWALPINDI, Oct 28: The Human Rights Society of Pakistan (HRSP) has decided to give human rights award to late Nawabzada Nasrullah Khan for his lifelong services for democracy.

The HRSP secretary, A.M. Shakoori, on Tuesday said this decision was taken by an awards committee, chaired by the society’s chairman, Senator S.M. Zafar.

Late Nawabzada Nasrullah was selected for the award owing to his efforts for promotion of democratic values and supremacy of the Constitution. The society had earlier given a similar award to the Nawabzada when he was in jail during the Zia regime.

The HRSP has also announced human rights awards for well- known urological surgeon, Dr Adeebul Hassan Rizvi, for his contributions in the establishment of Sindh Institute of Urology.—APP
