ATC sends 35 PMAP men to jail

Published April 7, 2005

QUETTA, April 6: The Anti-Terrorism Court No1 has sent 35 members of the Pakhtunkhwa Milli Awami Party (PMAP) on judicial remand to jail for creating chaos on the streets during the wheel-jam strike in Pishin. The police submitted the charge sheet against 38 people and 35 of them were produced before the court on Wednesday. The judge, Muhammad Shaukat Rakshani, declared the remaining three people nominated in the case as proclaimed offenders for not appearing before the court.

The Pishin police had arrested PMAP activists on March 31 on the charges that they attempted to block the road when the governor was going to Yaro to inaugurate the foundation of a private university.

Meanwhile, the Quetta police the other day released 31 workers of the Balochistan National Party (Mengal) who had been arrested on the day of the wheel-jam strike from Sariab for burning tyres on the road and pelting stones on vehicles.
