London High Commision
A similar sit-in protest was organized in London outside Pakistan High Commission against Shia genocide in Pakistan is continued in solidarity with the Shia protesters in Quetta, organized by Majlis-e-Ulema-e-Shia Europe.Â
Outraged at what they termed the genocide of Shias Muslims and the inability of the government to maintain law and order in almost all parts of Pakistan, protesters targeted the Pakistan High Commission (PHC) in London in various protests, starting from Friday night through to Saturday.
Braving cold, rain and freezing temperature, more than 200 Shia youth occupied the pavement outside the Pakistan High Commission on Friday night as the news spread of helpless mourners on Alamdar Road in Quetta protesting the killing of over 90 Shia Hazaras. The Quetta protesters were staging a sit-in, demanding that the military seize control of the provincial capital and protect the community, which has been routinely targeted by terrorist from sectarian groups such as the Sipah-e-Sahaba and Lashkar-e-Jhangvi which are the Off Shoots of the Taliban
The protesters said they were staging a impromptu sit-in to show solidarity with the Shia community until their demands are met.
The protesters in Quetta were demanding that they would not allow the victims of two bomb attacks in Quetta on Thursday to be buried until their demands were met and the Pakistan Army took control of the province and provided protection to the vulnerable community. They said that the government had failed in hindering the terrorists and in fact elements within the government were supporting terrorists groups.
The London sit-in turned into a grand protest by the afternoon in which more than 500 people took part.
Addressing a press conference on Saturday here, Shia leaders announced that thousands of people will assemble outside the Pakistan High Commission next Saturday to express their anger at what they termed the “massacre of the Shia populations in Pakistan”.
The Majlis-e-Ulema Shia Europe leader Syed Ali Raza Rizvi told media that the government knew who the killers of Shias are, as the Lashkar-e-Jhangvi and the Sipah-e-Sahaba are not only known for their strong antipathy against Shias but also made no secret of the fact that they believe in killing Shias and preaching this message. Yet the government, from President Asif Ali Zardari to Rehman Malik and others, has shown no resolve to deal with this situation.
“We believe due to the indifference shown by the Pakistani government history will remember it to be a partner in these barbarous acts of terrorism and all the different departments which have the authority will not be forgiven. All institutions have failed criminally to provide any personal or public security to the public. The silence of the chief justice of Pakistan on the continued massacre of the Shias is questionable especially because he normally shows special interest in the happenings in Balochistan,” he said.
