Evidence (2023-12-07): The law provides for criminal penalties for corruption by officials, but authorities did not implement the law effectively, and officials continued to engage in corrupt practices with impunity. There were numerous reports of government corruption.

Mental-health professionals expressed concern regarding social stigma by families and communities against persons with mental disabilities and a lack of access to mental-health care throughout the country. [...] The government did not effectively enforce these laws and regulations. Although penalties include prison sentences of up to two years and fines, they were not sufficient to deter violations. They were, however, commensurate with penalties for violating laws related to civil rights, such as election interference. Penalties were sometimes applied against violators.

Evidence (2024-10-08): Prosecutors are reminded to read this guidance with our Public Statement on Prosecuting Disability Hate Crime and other Crimes against Disabled People, as it provides greater detail on some of the key areas of policy. [...] - Perpetrators are often partners, family members, friends, carers, acquaintances, or neighbours. Offending by persons with whom the disabled person is in a relationship may be complicated by emotional, physical and financial dependency and the need to believe a relationship is trusting and genuine, however dysfunctional. Where perpetrators are partners, or live with the disabled person and are either members of the same family or have previously been partners, the offence of Controlling or coercive behaviour may apply: see legal guidance on Controlling or Coercive behaviour in an Intimate or Family Relationship. [...] A sentence may be increased under s.66 SA 2020 in relation to any offence. Much of the harassment experienced by disabled people is persistent, low level offending. In order to counter this type of behaviour, it is important that s.66 SA 2020 uplifts are applied for in all appropriate cases. This approach is intended to ensure that disability hate crime is punished properly and that justice is afforded to all.

Also, media reported that the pilot of the F-16 was killed. If true, that would be a great loss to the Pakistan Air Force.
