Relatives and sympathizers of missing persons, led by rights activist Amna Masood Janjua, vowed to continue their protest at Islamabad’s D. Chowk on Tuesday, SAMAA reported.
Yesterday, police came out in full force against the protests. The law-enforcers used teargas shells and baton charged the protestors, including women.
At least 12 protestors, Defence of Human Rights (DHR) chief Amna Masood Janjua among them, were detained after being rough handled by police.
Meanwhile, Janjua held Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar responsible for the situation, saying that police could not take such extreme step without the orders of top officials.
She opposed sacking of police officers due to the crackdown, and vowed to continue the sit-in unless her meeting with Prime Minister.
The protestors gathered at the same spot today and continued the protest, chanting slogans against the government.
