LARKANA, Oct 25: Activists of Pakistan Muslim League-Q and supporters of former minister Altaf Unnar took out a procession on Saturday in protest against reports that Unnar had been tortured and put in solitary confinement in the Hyderabad central prison.

The protestors, carrying banners and placards and chanting slogans, marched on the main roads of the city before assembling at the main gate of Jinnahbagh where they staged a sit-in.

Bakrani Taluka Nazim Dr Ghulam Mujtaba Samtio alleged that Unnar was being tortured mentally and physically in the jail and the jail superintendent had put him isolation ward.

He said that rulers were afraid of Unnar’s popularity. They should fight him politically instead of sending him to jail.
