Pakistan: Family members of missing person demonstrate in Swat
Swat, Pakistan: Families of missing persons demonstrated in Pakistan's Swat region on Monday, media reports said.
They demanded recovery of their loved family members.
Holding photos of their missing relatives, the protesters gathered in front of Swat Press Club and chanted slogans, demanding of the authorities to let them know about their whereabouts, reports Dawn News.
The protesters said they were in agony as they did not know whether their loved ones were alive or dead, and appealed to the Chief Justice of Pakistan, the army chief and the prime minister to help in tracing whereabouts of the missing persons, the newspaper reported.
They said the families have been in distress ever since their members disappeared.
“Families, especially women and children, of the missing persons have no one to take care of them,” a protester was quoted as saying by Dawn News.
