KARACHI: Activists, campaigners and members of the civil society gathered across Pakistan on Friday to hold demonstrations against terrorism and terrorist sympathizers – marking one month since a deadly attack by Taliban militants on a school in Peshawar killed over 130 children.
Protest vigils were held in several cities, including Islamabad, Karachi, Abbottabad, Sialkot, Sargodha, Peshawar, Hyderabad, Jhelum, Jhelum Cantt, Bahawalpur, Dera Allah Yaar, Sukkur, Larkana, and Nawabshah.
