Police beat up protesting IJT activists
2007-05-15
Hamidur Rehman, Islami Jamiat Talaba (IJT) central information secretary, said on Monday that police beat protesting IJT students outside Islamia College Civil Lines, injuring more than 10.

He said students from the Punjab University (PU), Islamia College Civil Lines and Government College for Science on Wahdat Road blocked various city roads and shouted slogans against the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) and Sindh government for being allegedly involved in SaturdayÂ’s violence in Karachi.

Hamid said police beat students outside Islamia College Civil Lines, injuring more than 10 students. He said police also beat protesting students in Sialkot.

A press release stated that Goraya criticised the police action against the students, calling it an act of state terrorism. He said that soon students would overthrow the dictatorial regime in Pakistan.

He said that on the one hand people were mourning over the loss of precious lives in Karachi while on the other hand the government was celebrating so called successful rallies. Goraya also urged the acting chief justice of Pakistan to ban the MQM.
