Pakistan Army reaction to the Amnesty International report:

Pakistan military authorities have rejected allegations leveled against the Pakistan army by Amnesty International in its latest report titled “The Hands of Cruelty” – Abuses by Armed Forces and Taliban in Pakistan’s Tribal Areas”, the army said.

While refuting the allegations in a statement, a military spokesman termed the Amnesty International report a pack of lies and part of sinister propaganda campaign against Pakistan and its armed forces.
