Center for Research and Security Studies (CRSS) organized a discussion on ‘Frontier Crimes Regulation (FCR)’with the student community at the Institute of Management Sciences (IMS) Peshawar on April 24, 2014.

The discussion started with a documentary on the history, imposition, implementation and consequences of the FCR on the people of FATA. The showing was followed by inquiring from the students about their experience with the FCR while living in FATA. The students regretted being part of the draconian and inhuman law, while at the same time held the government responsible for not taking adequate and meaningful measures to repeal the FCR.

Executive Director Imtiaz Gul of CRSS while speaking to FATA students on this occasion said that this debate on the legality of FCR has been initiated to provide the people and youth of FATA an opportunity to discuss and envision the system they deem could be best to safeguard their, social, economic, political as well as legal interests. He said societies cannot remain stagnated forever and it time for the tribal people to move forward towards peace, progress and development.
