Photos: Hundreds of Shias Protests in Toronto, Canada Against Shia Genocide in Pakistan

(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - Hundreds gathered at the Toronto City Hall on January 13 to protest against the senseless murders of Shias and other minorities in Pakistan. While the thousands of Shiites sat with the coffins of their children who died in targeted bomb attacks on January 10, 2013, millions in Pakistan joined the grieving parents by holding protest rallies against the senseless and targeted violence against minorities in Pakistan. Shia Muslims have particularly been an easy target because of their unique features that set them apart from the rest. In the past year alone, hundreds of Shias have died in bomb blasts and targeted killings.Standing in the rain outside of Toronto’s iconic City Hall, the protesters raised slogans against the unabated violence against minorities in Pakistan. The chants of “We want justice, stop Shia killings” resonated in Toronto’s downtown core, which is otherwise a quiet place on a Sunday afternoon.Speaking at the event, a leaders of the Shia community in Toronto warned that the protest in Toronto and other large cities in North America and Europe should alert Pakistan’s civil and defence establishment to the reality that what goes around in Pakistan is not lost on the world, especially the Pakistanis living abroad. Furthermore, while it may be true that misguided patriotism may have made Pakistanis ignore violence and injustice in Pakistan in the past, this is no longer the case.Photos: Mass Protest in Ireland Against Shia Genocide in PakistanPhotos: Mass Protest in Houston USA Against Shia Genocide in PakistanPhotos: Mass Protests in Melbourne Australia Against Shia Genocide in PakistanPhotos: Hundreds of People Protests in New York Against Shia Genocide in PakistanPhotos: Hundreds of Shias Protests in Toronto, Canada Against Shia Genocide in PakistanPhotos: Mass Protests in Dallas, Texas Against Shia Genocide in Pakistan Shia protesters in London call for army action, rule of law / Photos/129
