Stop Pakistani government’s use of state power against peaceful PTI protestors.


Stop Pakistani government’s use of state power against peaceful PTI protestors.
The Issue
PTI Chairman Imran Khan has announced further protests against the present government, so we must do whatever we can within our means, to stop PM Shahbaz Sharif using these fascists acts against his political opponents in Pakistan. Freedom to protest peacefully is every Pakistani's constitutional right which needs to be protected from power ridden fascists like PM Shahbaz Sharif & Interior Minister Sanaullah.
5 reasons for this movement:
1. 48 hours prior to the nationwide march date there were illegal arrests conducted at midnight where police were seen entering into common citizens’ houses and harassing their families including the elderly, women & children.
2. Throughout the country, 5 PTI workers lost their lives during these clashes with the police. 1 worker from Lahore was thrown off the Ravi Bridge by police and was pronounced dead at the scene. Another worker lost his life after he fell off the Attock Bridge amid tear-gas shelling. 3 more people were killed in clashes with police in Karachi.
3. 48 hours prior to the planned protest, the government enforced state terrorism by allowing police to forcefully enter into the houses of PTI's leaders & workers, at midnight, without presenting any search warrants. In many cases, ladders were even used to assist forced entry. Hundreds of illegal arrests were also made and the victims were sent to undisclosed locations.
4. On 25th May 2022, the police, under the commands of Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah, cordonded the country off. Roads, motorways, highways and bridges were blocked with containers to stop PTI workers' and protestors from reaching Islamabad.
5. Hundres of videos are circulating on social media showing the atrocities exercised on political workers, women, elderly and children by the police in an attempt to prevent them from participating in the Haqeeqi Azadi March. The police used tear-gas, on the public and it has been reported that it was expired.
Women, the elderly and children were also badly affected by the continuous shelling and the whole world witnessed how machinery was used by the Pakistani government to crush its rival political party.
To prevent the Sharif government from repeating these brutal and illegal acts against his political opponents in the future, we must raise awareness and ensure this topic is discussed at a higher level. And also to build more pressure on the Sharif government to stop further atrocities from occurring in Pakistan again.
