The Human Rights Watch reported that the Pakistani army has carried out 238 extrajudicial killings of people in the Swat Valley since September last year. The Human Rights Watch report says that while police have also been involved in the killings, but most of them have been carried out by the army.
There were at least seven cases where Taliban suspects have been arrested and taken away by the army, according to the report. Their bodies have later been found with bullet wounds and marks of torture.
In one case, the 12-Punjab regiment detained a resident of the Matta area of Swat, named Farman Ali, along with two other men on 28 March this year. The bodies of the other two men were later produced by the military and presented as Taliban militants who had allegedly been killed in a clash with the army.
Local citizens have told HRW that the men were arrested by the army and that they were not connected to the Taliban.
