Call from Student Action Committees in Islamabad and Lahore

The Student Action Committee (Islamabad) has called for a country wide protest on Tuesday the 4th of December against the atrocities committed by the current regime. In solidarity, the Student Action Committee (Lahore) is holding a protest on the same day in which students from over 21 colleges and universities from across Lahore will be joined by lawyers, journalists, human rights activists, and various civil society groups to stand up for justice, freedom, and the rule of law. The Committee demands immediate lifting of Martial Law, and also the restoration of the Judiciary to its pre-Martial Law state, as without an independent and unbiased judiciary, free and fair elections are not possible.

The Student Action Committee invites all concerned members of society to join the students in their fight for the restoration of democracy and rule of law in Pakistan.
