QAU students continue protest against emergency
ISLAMABAD, Nov 28, 2007: Students of the Quaid-e-Azam University (QAU) continued
their peaceful protest on Tuesday against the imposition of emergency in the
country. Protests at the QAU have entered the third week. The students have been
organising protest demonstrations on the premises of the university every day,
except official holidays and Friday. On Tuesday, over 200 students marched
inside the university and raised anti-government slogans. They termed
proclamation of emergency unjustified. The protesters urged the government to
restore the deposed chief justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry and to allow people
to enjoy their fundamental rights.
They vowed to continue their protest till
lifting of emergency and restoration of integrity of the judiciary. They warned
that they could go to any extent if the government did not meet their demands.
The students demanded release of all arrested lawyers, political and civil
society activists. They also criticised the government for curbs on media and
said that freedom of media should be restored. To express their anger over the
imposition of emergency, they also burnt an effigy of President General Pervez
Musharraf. The students also made a chain of hands from the main entrance of the
gate to the CJP Square to express solidarity with other segments of society
struggling against the imposition of emergency. Daily Times
