Lahore: Human Rights Commission of Pakistan (HRCP) strongly opposes the use of the Pakistan Army Act 1952 and Official Secrets Act 1923 to try civilians in incidents of May 9.

All those civilians tried under these acts in the past should also have their cases transferred to civil courts, it added.
