PROTESTORS ACROSS PAKISTAN DEMANDING INVESTIGATION
On April 25th and in reaction to the targeted killings Shia Muslims of various ages and and from various groups staged a rally and sit-in on Shahrah-e-Pakistan near Super Highway to protest against the targeted killing of Shia Muslims.
“Stop Shia genocide,” “Death to Terrorists,” Down with terrorism” were the slogans on signs carried by the protestors who marched from Masjid-e-Khair ul Amal to Shahrah-e-Pakistan.
They staged a sit-in on the main road blocking traffic leading to superhighway to pressure the government to take real action and address the targeted killing of Shia Muslims.
Also on April 28th Shia Muslims staged a demonstration outside Karachi Press Club on Sunday to protest against the targeted killings in Karachi and in other parts of the country.
Women and children also participated in the widely attended protest held under the aegis of Majlis-e-Wahdat-e- Muslimeen.
The Pakistani government has taken no action to prevent ongoing human rights violations in this country. Instead the government makes deals with terrorist groups and arranges “peace talks.” Anti-Shia terrorist groups continue killing Shias during the peace talks, and there is no sign that the government or the terrorist groups, mean any change in the society nor that is concerning the protection of the Shia minority.
