The Human Liberation Commission Pakistan (HLCP) is a registered, independent, apolitical, non-profit organization that endeavours, under the chairmanship of human rights activist Aslam Parvez Sahotra, to improve awareness of human rights among civil society in Pakistan as well as globally.

Initially named the Bonded Labour Freedom Front (BLFF) Pakistan in 1985, this human rights organization was discouraged by the Pakistani government from being registered under this name, since the government was averse to admitting to the stigma that there indeed existed a bonded labour situation in Pakistan, despite world acclaimed notoriety for the carpet industry bonded labourer case of juvenile Iqbal Masih, who was murdered for being from the Christian religious minority.
In 2003, the organization was re-aligned and structured as the Human Liberation Commission Pakistan, so as to cater to a wider victim base as well as not ruffle ‘forceful feathers’.
The HLCP’s human rights services do not discriminate race, religion, nationality, color, casted nor creed and with a Head Office in Lahore, the capital of Pakistan’s Punjab province, it has offices in all provinces of Pakistan and well-established sub offices in almost every city and district throughout Pakistan.
