While law enforcers showed restraint in Lahore and other parts of the country when the protesters stormed military residences, setting fire to buildings, the protest of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) supporters held in Quetta was dealt with force. A protestor was killed in Quetta when the police opened fire at the protest.
According to reports, police opened fire at protesters in Quetta, who were holding a demonstration against the arrest of former premier Imran Khan.
Due to the firing, one person died while many were reported to be injured.
PTI chairman Imran Khan was arrested yesterday by Rangers from Islamabad High Court in a corruption case.
On the other hand, protesters in other parts of the country, including Lahore, and Rawalpindi, broke into military residences, setting fire to buildings.
In Lahore, PTI supporters stormed Corps Commander Lahore residence, setting the building and furniture on fire and stealing valuables from the house. In Rawalpindi, protesters stormed Pakistan Army’s headquarters.
Earlier, the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan (HRCP) had also expressed concerns over the “state’s widespread use of enforced disappearances” in Balochistan to muzzle dissent.
In its fact-finding report, titled: “Balochistan’s struggle for Hope”, the human rights watchdog noted that there have been continued reports of enforced disappearances in Balochistan and there was no improvement in the situation since 2019 when the HRCP’s team visited the last.
