KP police assist in Rearehabilitating former prisoners
Earlier, it was mutually decided by KP authorities that in order to help former detainees avoid reoffending and return to society as productive, law-abiding citizens, Haripur police and the Human Development Organisation (HDO-Pakistan) would jointly arrange psychological rehabilitation sessions for people who had completed their sentences or whose cases were still under trial.
According to the DPO, the main purpose of the enforcement of law and order in the society was to protect citizens’ life, dignity, and honor, as he believes that protecting basic human rights and dignity is also a priority for the police departments.
