Shahid Khaqan on Mureedke Massacre

In addition to the detailed reporting by DropSiteNews and @WajSKhan on the brutality of the military regime in Muridke, a former Pakistani Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi also spoke about the cruelty. In an interview, he said that Punjab Police told his constituents — whose family member was killed in Muridke — that they “would release the body on the condition that the family not file a murder report.” This testimony is similar to last year’s #IslamabadMassacre when PTI supporters’ families said the bodies were only handed over after they agreed to sign affidavits that they would not pursue the murder cases against the regime.
