36 Shia Muslims arrested in Shikarpur for azadari on Imam Ali’s martyrdom anniversary.
Shia Muslims observe the anniversary of martyrdom of Amirul Maumineen Imam Ali (AS) commonly known as Hazrat Ali in Pakistan.
Shikarpur-based mourners brought out a mourning procession to commemorate the anniversary.
But Sindh province’s Shikarpur district police arrested 36 Shia Muslims for this act.
Government restricts such gatherings while citing precautionary measures to save people from COVId18 but police violated those measures as they impounded Shia mourners in the lock up en masse.
Police registered two fake cases against the mourners.
The detainees included MWM Shikarpur chapter Asghar Ali Sethar.
Later, MWM Sindh chapter deputy secretary general Chaudhry Azhar Hassan came to help them.
On his personal surety, police released the mourners who spent a night in police lock-up.
