HYDERABAD, Nov 28: A large number of liberated Hari women, children and activists of Awami Tehrik and the Sindhiani Tehrik continued their token hunger strike outside the Hyderabad Press Club on the third consecutive day here on Wednesday.

Talking to newsmen, Yaqoob Otho, a leader of the Sindhi Hari Tehrik, said that inhuman atrocities against the poor Haris of Sindh were continuing even in the 21st century.

He demanded that the murderers of Hari Achar Machhi should be arrested and an FIR should be registered against Mehmood Malkani and Bashir Malkani.
