The government has objected to the two-finger test (TFT) — an old strategy for looking at sexual assault survivors — and suggested that it ought not be important for any medico-lawful assessment report in rape/sexual assault cases.
The Ministry of Law and Justice has implied the Additional Attorney General at Lahore, Chaudhry Ishtiaq Ahmed Khan, about the proposal. He will currently educate the Lahore High Court about the government’s position.
The court is seized with two public intrigue prosecution petitions which have tested the two-finger test (TFT). One request was documented by Shaista Pervez Malik, a PML-N individual from the National Assembly, while the other by a gathering of women’s rights activists, scholastics, columnists and supporters. They are Sadaf Aziz, Farida Shaheed, Farieha Aziz, Farah Zia, Sarah Zaman, Maliha Zia Lari, Dr Aisha Babar and Zainab Husain.
