Families of missing Shia pilgrims stage demonstration at Karachi Press Club

The heirs of missing Shia pilgrims and notables staged a demonstration outside Karachi Press Club yesterday to register their protest against the failure of the government and judiciary regarding their recovery.

(AhlulBayt News Agency) - Mothers, wives and children of missing Shia pilgrims were carrying placards and portraits of the missing heads of their families. They were raising slogans in favour of their demands.

The son of Naseem Haider asked who will bear expenses of their education and livelihood in the absence of his father. Family members said that the illegal and undeclared arrest of heads of their families were tantamount to their economic assassination as well.

They demanded that missing Shia persons must be released forthwith otherwise they would have to resort to stiffened and extreme step of protest. They threatened they could launch fast unto death or burn them alive and the state authorities of Pakistan would be held responsible for their deaths.

They demanded that they must be allowed to meet the illegally arrested Shiites.
