Countrywide Protests Continue for Attack on Hamid Mir

It was recently reported from Islamabad that countrywide protests have started after Hamid Mir was shot thrice on Saturday night. The famous journalist was recently stated to be stable in the hospital and has told his brother that he directly blames ISI for the incident as he has often spoken against their will and said things which do not please the agency.

Now the journalist community along with lawyers and civil society members have continued to stage rallies, demonstrations and sit-ins throughout the country. They condemn the attack on the GEO News anchor and have decided to hit the roads in order to protest against these attacks.

On Saturday night, while Hamid Mir was on his way to the office from the Karachi airport, he was shot thrice by unknown men who were riding on a bike. He was taken to a nearby hospital where he has managed to receive full treatment. Currently he is stable and is out of the critical condition.

The protests are currently going on as Mir is still recovering from the bullet wounds. Karachi, Islamabad and Lahore are the three major cities where these protests are being carried out. Every person is rallying against the attack which targeted Hamid Mir.
