Two farm workers brutally tortured in Pakistan

    Police in Pakistan are investigating allegations that two farm labourers were brutally tortured.

    Two brothers in Punjab’s Sahiwal are accused of dragging the men through the streets of Jaithpur village, one with a rope around his neck, “for refusing to work in their fields”.

    It is alleged the men were then tortured at a farmhouse. A witness informed police, who raided the building and took the victims to hospital.
