Punjab University students to setup hunger-strike camp

LAHORE, Dec 11, 2007: Punjab University (PU) students on Tuesday (today) will set up a hunger-strike camp at the New Campus to protest against holding the constitution in abeyance, violating human rights, putting curbs on the media and arresting students.

Some PU students distributed handouts among other students, and asked them to join the hunger-strike camp. The camp would be set up outside the Institute of Communication Studies (ICS), ICS student Naveed Alam said on Monday.

He said the PU students were upset over the prevailing political situation in the country. They were not convinced with the emergency rule, and the way human rights had been violated, he added. He said the student at the camp would educate their fellow students about the importance of the restoration of the constitution, human rights and freedom of the media.

Ahsan, a student of Institute of Administrative Sciences, said a large number of students were expected to attend the camp. An effigy of President General (r) Pervez Musharraf would be bunt on the occasion, he added.

The Students Action Committee (SAC), a group of students representing 21 different universities and colleges of the city, has set up a hunger-strike camp outside the Lahore Press Club since last Saturday demanding release of the arrested students.

Students' protest against fellows' detention
LAHORE: Students from across the city and members of civil society on Monday protested at the Cantonment Court against the "imposition of marital law" and the suspension of bails of the arrested students. Ten people including some students were detained on Thursday from outside the deposed Judge Shahid Siddiqui's residence in GOR-I. Two FAST students, Hassan and Amanullah were also among arrested. Their fellow students were expecting that Hassan and Amanullah would be bailed out, but the court ordered them to appear on Tuesday (today) in the Anti-Terrorist Court, Dharampura.

Human Rights Commission of Pakistan chairperson Asma Jahangir, Lahore Bar Association president Syed Muhammad Shah, Advocate Khurram Latif Khosa were also present on the occasion. The participants shouted slogans Go Musharraf Go and Zulm Kay Yea Zabtay Hum Nahi Mantay. The Students Action Committee continued the strike on the third day (Monday) at Lahore Press Club. A large number of students were present at the camp. Several lawyers and human rights activists visited the hunger strike camp and expressed their solidarity with the protesting students.
