Davos [Switzerland], January 20 (ANI): The Pashtun Tahaffuz Movement (PTM) held a peaceful demonstration along with local human rights activists against Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and the Pakistani Army involved in the brutal killings and enforced disappearances of Pashtun people.
The PTM's Central Committee Member, Zubair Shah Agha accused the Pakistani PM of collaborating with the Army to kill, forcibly disappear, and loot the Pashtun people. Sharing about the protest on X he said that it was meant 'to hold a peaceful demonstration against the Prime Minister of Pakistan Mr Shahbaz Sharif who's government in collaboration with Pakistan army is involved in the brutal killings, forcible disappearances, extrajudicial killings, fake and proxy wars, and loot and plunder of the mineral rich land of Pashtun people.'
He shared that a large number of the participants were forcibly restrained from peaceful demonstration and some of them were arrested by the Swiss Immigration authorities and Switzerland Police.
Calling it a 'pathetic situation', he said that the arrested persons are now being asked and intimidated by the Swiss authorities to sign documents wherein they should admit that their activities were a threat to the security of the ongoing World Economic Forum (WEF) conference.
The post decried the curbing of human rights in Switzerland and said, 'The notorious spy organization of Pakistan, namely ISI is well known internationally for its support for terrorism and extrajudicial killings of the Pashtun and Baluch people on ethnic grounds within Pakistan. It's very shameful to see that Pakistan's ISI having its presence in all the EU countries, has been emboldened to such an extent that it will curb and crush its opponents even in Switzerland. Today the very concept of Human Rights, Human Dignity, human equality and freedom of Speech have been Ruined in Zurich Switzerland.'
It gave a call demanding the immediate release of the members of PTM detained by the police and Immigration authorities in Switzerland. It also demanded that the government of Switzerland hold an inquiry into the matter so that the real facts may be brought to the surface.
