Protests are continuing in different parts of Sindh province as people have been facing brutality in the hands of security forces. A large number of political activists, journalists and other intellectuals are missing, who are allegedly abducted by secret agencies and kept in isolated detention centres.
Sindh is a resource-rich province of Pakistan, but the people are facing immense poverty and unemployment.
A majority of people here demand freedom from Pakistan which led to efforts by security agencies to silence the voice of dissent.
