Today PTM protested against the arrest of its leader Manzoor Pashteen. There wasn't a single report of violence by protestors from around the World. I attended the protest in Islamabad & the protestors here were as peaceful as in the other places -1 #PTMWorldWideProtests
However, the State reminded us once again that our rights don't mean much as they didn't bother to create even flimsy grounds for our arrests. I was dragged along with other comrades of PTM and AWP including @IsmatShahjahan, @AmmarRashidT and many others -2 #PTMWorldWideProtests
After arrest we were distributed in various thanas, I was told by the police that they were setting me free. I told them that I will not go until all the others are set free as well. Then they came back again, telling me
that they will set all free so I decided to leave-3
that they will set all free so I decided to leave-3
Now I have come to know that some of the protestors are still in jail. We will wait till tomorrow to get a full idea of how many are still in jail and after that we will protest till each and everyone is released. I would also like to thank all those who condemned our arrests. 4
As our freedoms are shrinking silence is not an option. The fight to win back our right to dissent, is a common cause that transcends ethnicities & beliefs. Speak up & be counted, your life means nothing if you don't have the freedom to disagree. -5 #PTMWorldWideProtests
