10 people were arrested from the residence of Justice Siddiqui in GOR last night at 9 PM. The arrested guys included members of FASTRising, LUMS community and a few lawyers (including females as well). Members of Students Action Committee demonstrated against the detention of their friends and lawyers till 3 AM (7-Dec-07) in front of Race Course Police Station, the place where they were kept. Later the protesters dispersed to come later with larger strength.
The protesters gathered at Camp Jail the next afternoon (7-Dec-07) as the arrested people have been shifted to this place. Before their shift here, they had a hearing in Cantt kachehry where they were convicted of disturbing peace and MPO was imposed on them. The protesters continued to chant slogans carrying placards and banners. They dispersed around 3 PM after they were surrounded by police and they pressurised them to leave the place.
Many students from PU joined the members of SAC in both the protests but a majority of students were unable to join because of the heavy deployments of police in PU hostels to resist student movement.
Dont leave your friends alone, join us in upcoming protests !
