After that, they are on judicial remand, and are being kept in a proper, legal manner,” Malik told reporters. “Cases have been registered against the adults, not the children.” The children, he said, were living comfortably in a five-bedroom house in Islamabad. “A house has been bought for them to live in.” Two of the wives are Saudi nationals, and one is from Yemen, according to the Pakistani foreign ministry. Malik did not specify which court was dealing with the case, or where the women were being held. They will have to stand trial, but it was not clear what punishment they faced if convicted.

The functions of the commission do not include inquiring into the acts of intelligence agencies. If a complaint is made to the commission alleging that an act or practice of such an agency is in violation of human rights, the commission shall refer the complaint to the competent authority. The legislation would at least open a window to inquire upon the alleged human rights violations committed by the intelligence agencies. The new legislation also includes the establishment of ‘human rights courts’ for the purpose of speedy trial of offences arising out of violation of human rights. To make the commission financially independent, the bill makes it mandatory for parliament to make due appropriation in the budget and provide the funds to the commission directly. No contribution from any foreign source, private or governmental, shall be acceptable to the commission, except after the approval of the Federal Government
