Karachi police arrested 28 demonstrators outside the Sindh Assembly on Monday over the'missing' Baloch students.
According to Dawn, the protestors were manhandled while demonstrating against the kidnapping of two Baloch students from the University of Karachi (KU) by law enforcement officials.
Doda Baloch and Ghamshad Baloch, two KU Philosophy Department students, were abducted from their residence near Maskan Chowrangi in Gulshan-i-Iqbal on June 7, and their whereabouts have been unknown since.
For the past four days, their relatives and representatives of civil society organisations had set up camp outside the Karachi Press Club (KPC). They made it to the Sindh Assembly's main gate on Sunday night, when they staged a sit-in demanding the release of the missing students, as per reports.
The organisers of the rally accused the police of mistreating mothers and children. They said that the Sindh police had reneged on their promise to meet with relatives of the missing students and officials from the Counter Terrorism Department on Monday. Hence, they said, they held another sit-in near the Sindh Assembly building, where demonstrators were manhandled and arrested, the report read.
