The Human Rights Commission of Pakistan (HRCP) has raised serious concerns over the persistent delays workers face in seeking justice for wrongful dismissals, emphasising that these delays are often exacerbated by the undue influence of powerful corporations on the legal system. HRCP brought attention to the tragic death of a worker employed by a multinational company, Asif Javed, who reportedly self-immolated outside the Lahore High Court in protest against the alleged manipulation of his case, which involved his reinstatement following his dismissal in 2015.
