“Applying the human trafficking law to adl cases will help save time in courts, bring down the number of cases piled up in courts and reduce chances of bias in issuing judgments,” said a source at the commission, adding that a large number of cases are being held up in courts and have not reached the HRC.

The source pointed out that the commission has received 1,452 complaints so far this year. The cases varied from the right to education and health care, abuse against women and children, adl cases, medical malpractice, sexual harassment, prisoners’ rights to denial of the right to identification, the source said.

It also revealed that the HRC followed up more than 50 cases of violation of rights and were exposed in the media. The HRC investigated the veracity of such complaints and provided legal assistance to the victims.

It has also investigated marriages involving minors, Adl charges and a case about an abused maid in Madinah.

In some cases, such as medical malpractice complaints, the commission communicated directly with the agency responsible for the violations to find a quick solution to the problem, the source added.
