The government released thousands of prisoners with much fanfare over the last two days, but the fact is that many activists still remain in jail. These include Farid Awan (trade union leader), Aitzaz Ahsan (president of the Supreme Court Bar Association), Nisar Shah (Labour Party of Pakistan), Liaqat Shah, Ayub Qureishi, Yousuf Mastikhan (National Worker's Party), and Hasil Bizenjo (National Party).
These activists remain locked up and many are charged with sedition, punishable by death. We must demand the release of all political prisoners, including these remaining listed here.
