Patan. The Coalition 38 Expresses its deep concern and condemns the use of violent and even lethal force by the state authorities to suppress and disperse a political rally in Islamabad which reportedly killed a large number of peaceful protesters and was injured. It is unacceptable that even a single protester lost his life in a peaceful protest while peaceful protest is a fundamental right of citizens.

Statements from independent media reporters and eyewitnesses confirmed that the protesters were peacefully demanding the release of their detained party leaders and activists, denouncing recent constitutional amendments and widespread election fraud. But they were demanding the return of the stolen mandate. The use of brutal force, including lethal force, by the authorities constituted a gross violation of the right to life and freedom of peaceful assembly and was thus illegal and unjust. In addition, authorities increased restrictions on press freedom and expression, including illegal arrests and kidnappings of journalists, to control the free flow of news and information to the public, including on broadcast, print, social media, Internet and communication channels. Restrictions on the freedom of which we strongly condemn.

The authorities have failed to learn the lesson that political parties, trade unions and civil society, along with their fundamental rights of peaceful assembly, are indispensable for building and strengthening the democratic foundations of the state. Overthrow of parties, systematic suppression of political opponents and stifling of freedom of assembly and expression will ultimately block development and push the state and society into a deep abyss.

The right to engage in peaceful protest and assembly is a fundamental human right that is an integral part of any democracy. The state has also made promises to the international community that has been constantly criticizing the authorities for sabotaging and derailing the democratic process in the country. Patan.Collection 38 Strongly supports the call of international observers for a prompt, thorough, impartial, effective and transparent investigation into the killings and injuries of protesters, as well as the illegal use of security personnel, and to bring to justice those who have escaped justice. . We urge the provincial and national governments to immediately release the political prisoners and ease the suffering of the victims and their families. We believe that political and economic instability cannot be prevented from worsening without returning the electoral mandate of the people to their rightful representatives through fresh elections.
