      <title>Sit-in against Levies personnel killing enters 7th day in Ziarat
</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/30266046/</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;The sit-in against the killing of three Levies personnel in Ziarat coninues as protestors demand an investigation into the incident, saying they won't bury their loved ones until the formation of a judicial commission. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;They're also demanding action against law enforcement for failing to keep the areas safe. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Three Levies personnel were killed when their vehicle crossed a landmine in Ziarat last Thursday. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;According to our source in Ziarat, the Balochistan Liberation Army has claimed responsibility for this attack. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The source claims the men were instructed by the DC to venture into the area to recover missing persons who had been abducted when the attack happened near Mangi Dam. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The source claims the missing persons have been released. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Protestors have blocked the National Highway and are staging a peaceful sit-in with coffins of the deceased.  The Friday Times reported that shops also shut down in a show of solidarity.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Many have taken to Twitter to report on the protest and raise awareness on the sit-in. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;figure class='media  w-full  w-full  media--stretch  media--uneven media--embed  '&gt;
				&lt;div class='media__item    media__item--twitter  '&gt;            &lt;blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"&gt;
                &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/ManzoorPashteen/status/1432748073290240000"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
            &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
				
			&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;p&gt;			&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Mirwais Kakar shared videos of the father of one of the deceased Levies, Mudasir Khan; the other victims were also related to him. In Pashto he tells the interviewer he's taken a stand for Pashtuns, and even if his son's body decomposes in the ambulance he won't move until their demands are met. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;He also said he doesn't want government to build Burj al Khalifa for them in Ziarat or a palace. All they want is to stop the killing of Pashtuns. And says he will not accept more deaths. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;figure class='media  w-full  w-full  media--stretch  media--uneven media--embed  '&gt;
				&lt;div class='media__item    media__item--twitter  '&gt;            &lt;blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"&gt;
                &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/Mirwaiskk/status/1433134360480423944"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
            &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
				
			&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;p&gt;			 &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;At the time of writing, no government official had visited the protestors. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Chief Minister Jamal Kamal Khan tweeted his regrets but also asked for the men to be buried. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;figure class='media  w-full  w-full  media--stretch  media--uneven media--embed  '&gt;
				&lt;div class='media__item    media__item--twitter  '&gt;            &lt;blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"&gt;
                &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/jam_kamal/status/1433166317184499714"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
            &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
				
			&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;p&gt;			 &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Kakar also shared a heartbreaking video of the daughter of a Levies killed.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;figure class='media  w-full  w-full  media--stretch  media--uneven media--embed  '&gt;
				&lt;div class='media__item    media__item--twitter  '&gt;            &lt;blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"&gt;

            &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
				
			&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;p&gt;			&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Another shared a photograph reportedly from Monday of the sit in.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;figure class='media  w-full  w-full  media--stretch  media--uneven media--embed  '&gt;
				&lt;div class='media__item    media__item--twitter  '&gt;            &lt;blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"&gt;

            &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
				
			&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;p&gt;			&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;One user also shared the image of the three ambulances which contained the dead bodies of the Levies personnel, awaiting burial. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;figure class='media  w-full  w-full  media--stretch  media--uneven media--embed  '&gt;

            &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
