HYDERABAD, July 30: Heirs of Rasool Bux Brohi and activists of human rights organisation held a demonstration outside the press club on Sunday in protest against government’s failure to arrest the policemen accused of killing Mr Brohi.

They called upon the Supreme Court to take notice of transfer of investigation of the case from Nawabshah to Karachi.

They demanded that officials of the Lyari Task Force who had gunned down Brohi in a fake encounter on July 12 should be immediately arrested.

The protesters included father of the deceased, Ismail Brohi, mother Pathani, mother-in-law Shahzadi, cousin Ali Nawaz Brohi and human rights activists Juman Otho, Mumtaz Sheikh, Sajjan Panwhar and Jan Mohammad Soomro.

They carried placards and banners. They raised slogans against officials of the LTF.

They said that several days had passed after registration of the FIR on the complaint of Ms Lal Bibi, the widow of Brohi, but none of the accused had been arrested.

They said that on the contrary, investigation of the FIR, had been transferred to Karachi without taking them into confidence.

They demanded that Siddique Brohi, who was released by the Karachi police on July 25, and again detained for interrogation should be released.

They said that Mushtaq Dal, the brother of an office- bearer of the Pakistan Human Rights Forum, Abdul Ghani Dal, had gone missing from Kotri for past several days.

The protesters said that accused SP Chaudhry Aslam Khan, inspectors Ishaque Lashari, Ismail Lashari and Asif Qureshi should be immediately arrested.

Sindh PHRF president Jan Mohammad Soomro accused the government of doing nothing for the arrest of police officials.

He feared that Siddique Brohi, cousin of Rasool Bux Brohi and Mushtaq Dal, would be murdered in a similar police encounter by LTF officials.

PHRF divisional president Mumtaz sheikh said that Siddique had been handed over to the Karachi police by the Jamshoro police for interrogation on July 25 but he had not returned home.
