Pakistan - HUNGER STRIKE TILL DEATH BEGINS IN INCHOLI FOR RELEASE OF MISSING SHIAS


Two leaders of All Pakistan Shia Action Committee began hungers strike on Friday evening for release of those Shia Muslims who were subjected to enforced disappearance.

Sagheer Abid Rizvi and Syed Hassan Raza Sohail began observing fast unto death at their camp of hunger strike at Incholi. They said that they expressed solidarity with Allama Syed Hassan Zafar Naqvi who also began fast unto death at a police lock up in district south where he had courted arrest for release of missing Shias. 

These leaders vowed to continue their hunger strike till death if the Shia Muslims subjected to enforced disappearance were not released. They said that if there was any charge against them then these illegal detainees must be produced in courts where they could defend them through their defence lawyers. 

The Missing Shia Release Committee has so far hosted several protest rallies and demonstrations where the families of missing Shias demand justice for their bread-earners. They said that illegal detention of their bread-earners was tantamount to their economic massacre.
