Re: Emergency Relaxed - thousands released

Please show me some pics from latest protests, thanks. The thousands arrested were not "ghun" rather the protesters and known opponents. Anyway, good for the people who got released. I wonder if it had anything to do with Negroponte's visit.

Re: Emergency Relaxed - thousands released

This was one by BB's supporters. and ofcourse we condemn it.

Lawyers, jounalists, other opposition leaders, women, & students were not involved in violence. But police is..

Re: Emergency Relaxed - thousands released

Can you also point out which protests these pics belong to and any accompanying news/article? The link you gave is a generic BBC website, direct link to pics/protest images? Thanks.

Re: Emergency Relaxed - thousands released

So the terrorist threat is over that these innocent guys are now being released. Oops!!!! The emergency was never to fight terrorists. It was to strengthen the kursi.

Thousands still remain in jails under this brutal onslaught.

Re: Emergency Relaxed - thousands released

Pics That i posted are from 2-3 of the galleries on this page. I dont have any article related to these pics as BBC call this “Pictorial Coverage” As far as I remember one of the gallery was Preshawer protest and one from PPP protest.

Re: Emergency Relaxed - thousands released

Welcome news indeed.

Re: Emergency Relaxed - thousands released

Oh this was the one which Benazir had asked for, well yes you can call PPP as anarchist, terrorist, criminal... for some reason I thought the protests you referred (in first post) were for Imran Khan.

Re: Emergency Relaxed - thousands released

Another 2218 people released today, as Emergency relaxed further.

Ba Adab, Ba Mulahiza, Hoshiar.

Zill-e-Subhani, Hazrat Parvez Musharaf Tashreef La rahe hain.

Badsha-e-Salamat ke hukm ke mutabiq, Un ka koi hukm challenge nahi ho sakta.

As per a new ordinance, None of the Mushraf's orders can be challenged in a court. Is this called relaxation of Emergency?

Re: Emergency Relaxed - thousands released

Is that something to celebrate? The figure says +3000 where arrested and I believe this to be more than 4000. I'm not sure If I should celebrate on this very matter.

Re: Emergency Relaxed - thousands released

Wow. So many people arrested, yet still no mass protest against the dictatorship. Were the arrested people not important?

Re: Emergency Relaxed - thousands released

Sacrificial lambs it seems?
