Can the Victims of Terror Speak? The silence of HRCP Statistics

The sheer silence on the victims and survivors of terrorists bomb attacks in Pakistan is evidenced by the lack of statistical and biographical information on the victims of terror. Even Human Rights Commission of Pakistan, (HRCP), the prime agency for the protection of human rights in Pakistan does not cover the violations of human rights including deaths and injuries of innocent civilians, caused by terrorists attacks. The bulk of statistics are gathered around the following  9 subjects. 
The summary of HRCP statistics for the year 2009, from January to October is as follows:  


Killed: 321


Wounded: 748.
