FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Some 1,500 female activists from the Majlis-e-Wahdat-ul-Muslimeen religious party, carrying black flags and banners, marched in Islamabad on Thursday to condemn the relentless and targeted killings of Shias in Parachinar, the capital of the remote Kurram tribal region, Hangu district in the northwestern province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Quetta, the capital of the southwestern province of Balochistan, and Gilgit Baltistan.
The protesters also called on the government to take immediate action against culprits involved in the sectarian killings, and warned of nationwide protests if justice was not done.
They also said the wave of targeted killings against Shia Muslims could benefit terrorists, and further create unrest in the country.
“We will continue our struggle against anti-Shia cruelties committed by the Taliban and their associate groups,” said Esha Fatima, a protester.
Pakistan’s pro-Taliban militants have launched a violent campaign against Shia Muslims over the past years.
Shia Muslims living in Kurram have been facing a humanitarian crisis since November 2007, when pro-Taliban groups cut off the area from the rest of the country.
According to local sources, hundreds of Shia Muslims have been killed in the region since the start of the campaign by militants affiliated to Taliban and al-Qaeda terrorist groups.
Several Shia religious gatherings have been targeted in different parts of the country over the past few months.
