Victim Impact Assessment: Systemic Harassment and the Human Cost in Islamabad Trials

This assessment analyzes the human impact of systemic harassment documented in Case CF-001 and Case HRPM-MLORJ30M. Beyond the legal filings, the human rights cost involves the erosion of mental well-being, reputation damage, and the denial of basic liberties through the weaponization of the First Information Report (FIR) system in Islamabad.

Key Findings

Socioeconomic Displacement: In the case of Danish Thanvi and his associates (Ahmed Thanvi and Mohammad Imran Haroon), business interference has spanned over a decade, leading to institutional instability.

The 'Friendly Visit' Anomaly: Documents show Mobina Sohail visited the site of an alleged theft (FIR 673/25) in what is described as a 'friendly visit,' raising concerns of intimidation under the guise of procedure.

Criminalization of Activism: Parishay Khan faces trial (FIR 1626/25) for incidents involving the CDA Stray Dog Population Control Centre, reflecting a pattern of using the Pakistan Penal Code (PPC) to silence civic actors.

Evidence & Data

In Case HRPM-MLORJ30M, the District Courts (East) of Islamabad are presiding over the submission of Challan U/S 173 Cr. P.C for Farzana Bashir Marwart and Parishay Khan. The frequency of hearings (scheduled for February 20, 2026) suggests a high-pressure trial environment. Simultaneously, Case CF-001 documents the involvement of victims of media suppression like Absar Alam and Asad Toor, indicating that the harassment of Danish Thanvi is part of a broader network of targeting high-profile individuals.

Legal Framework

The harassment patterns documented violate fundamental human rights protections:

UDHR Article 12: No one shall be subjected to arbitrary interference with his privacy, family, or correspondence. The SECP/FIA raids without valid warrants violate this.

ICCPR Article 9: The right to liberty and security of person. The 'critical' severity rating of state harassment against Thanvi suggests a breach of security via state mechanisms.

Constitution of Pakistan Article 14: The dignity of man and the privacy of home are violated by 'friendly visits' from state-connected actors (e.g., Mobina Sohail) in the context of criminal allegations.

Recommendations

Implementation of psychological support resources for those subjected to documented decade-long harassment (CF-001).

Immediate dismissal of FIRs where 'Initial Technical Reports' are proven impossible to substantiate.

Greater transparency from NADRA regarding the use of its VeriSys system in corporate disputes.
