PR Call for protest in Karachi in solidarity with activists in Islamabad
Email received on the People’s Resistance network
I’m sure you are all aware of the cowardly and brutal measures taken by the police in Islamabad to stop the lawyers and activists for reaching the home of Chief Justice Iftikhar Mohammad Chaudhry.
If lathi charge and arrests weren’t enough, this time the state used water canons and tear gas against the brave souls, as if they were being attacked with molotov cocktails and batons.
In order to show solidarity with our injured and detained brothers and sisters of Lahore & Islamabad, we are holding a
SOLIDARITY VIGIL AT 5 p.m. KARACHI PRESS CLUB, FEBRUARY 11th, 2008
WE NEED AS MUCH PARTICIPANTS AS POSSIBLE TO SHOW OUR RESENTMENT TO SUCH BRUTAL ACTIONS!
The press people suggested 5 p.m. since they can better picture/record our protest in the day time.
Yes, in the face of such violence, a simple vigil sounds petty and ridiculous, but like our friends moderating the Emergency Times quote- “Whatever you do will be insignificant, but it is very important that you do it.” – Mahatma Gandhi
Please forward to all concerned friends and family, especially lawyers and journalists.
See you all there.
In solidarity, – FARIS
