A protest has been arranged in front of Pakistani Consulate in Toronto.

Day: Friday, Nov 9.
Time: 4 P.M
Venue: Pakistani Consulate in Toronto

Please let your friends and relatives in Toronto know about the event & request to participate.

I got this email from someone today:
Are you afraid to Speak AGAINST the Ruling Dictatorship?
DON’T BE!!!
EXPRESS YOURSELF!

Are you concerned about the Emergency Situation Imposed by Musharraf?
Do you want to see a Better, Peaceful, Progressive and Stable Pakistan?

IF YES - THEN DON’T HESITATE TO EXPRESS YOURSELF!

As an Individual You can:
1. Tie Black Arm Bands/ Wrist Bands/ Head Bands

As a family you can:
2. Hoist a Blag Flag on your Home/ Car

As a responsible citizen of Pakistan you can :
3. Encourage this Peaceful Protest and spread the word on Black Bands.

REMEMBER: Silence is a form of Admission!
NEVER AGAIN TO ANOTHER DICTATOR
Never Underestimate the Power of Expression!

I think we need coordinators from different cities to arrange and plan protest at several cities of Pakistan at this weekend, regardless of how many people can join. Please volunteer and mention the city,name.

@Admin plz set a column with coordinator name,place, Handpone number etc.

Plz give further suggestions on this idea.

it is very simple idea and the ppl from IT field can even do it very easily.

Make email bomb(like hundreds of email) with text about martial law or whatever they think its appropriate and start sending those to govt email addresses. Like email addresse of PMLQ MNA, govt offices or even to the military officer.

there is a protest arranged in toronto at queens park on 10th november saturday from 2-4 pm..from there we will march to the foreign office…everybody is invited

I like shazs idea of coordinating protests in pakistan just like pkunited is doing overseas.just a suggestion dont give telephone numbers of pakistani coordinators out openly,rather use email for communication

I HAVE TWO SUGGESTIONS TO MARK PROTEST BY THE GENERAL PUBLIC IN PAKISTAN.
1. THE PEOPLE SHOULD PUT A BLACK FLAG ON THEIR HOUSES.
.THE PEOPLE SHOULD MARK A PROTEST BY JUST TAKING ALL THE FAMILY OUT OF THEIR HOUSES AND SIT IN FRONT OF THEIR HOUSE FOR HALF AN HOUR THROUGH OUT THE COUNTRY. THIS IS EASY AND SAFE FOR EVERYONE AND THEN THE GOVT SHALL KNOW THAT HOW MUCH THE PEOPLE HATE THEM.

ANY PROTEST IN VANCOUVER? THEN LET ME KNOW
THANKS

1. Approach to the volunteers in colleges and universities of all the major cities.

2. Awareness/Activation campaign led a team of students consisting 2-3 students in each Muhla and colony where they will go door to door at night to convince people by informing them the gravity of the problem. Particularly they should target young people and educated elders.

3. Awareness team should prepare comprehensive agitation strategies along with the convinced persons of each Muhla and colony that how to confront police by avoiding arrests.

4. Awareness teams of a city or sub-part of a city should set together at secret place to discuss progress and future strategies.

5. Person directing awareness compaign of a city should report their progress back in capital city of each province.

Details can be polished further with input from other people on the forum

I have send admin a pdf document. That tells what we should do and what has been done. It provide a good outline and still under development.
Please admin post it somewhere on the website.

Wassalam

I would suggest the following structure in the EMERGENCY tab:

Link: Protests around the world – Link: Country Names – Link: Dates: –> Pictures or Link of pictures and Video-Links (YouTube etc)

Along with the Dates link the list of coordinators in that country can also be added. As well as the list of cities can also be added as in case of USA protests are going on in many cities.

In this way everybody can look directly what’s going on in every country.

It will also be encouraging for others too.

Abou Bakar (Germany)

Several individuals stand out in the struggle for rule of law in Pakistan over the last few months. Most important are the honorable judges of the superior courts who have refused to take oath under this illegal PCO. These honorable judges are now under house arrest. Their refusal to bow to illegality and the state’s oppressive response are the clearest and most unambiguous expression of the nature of the forces arrayed on each side in this confrontation. Thousands of overseas Pakistanis are eager to show their support for these judges and to contribute in some form to the ongoing struggle. We propose the following non-violent, but potent, symbolic action:

SEND FLOWERS FOR JUSTICE.

Individuals as well as organizations should arrange to have flowers delivered as soon as possible to the houses of individual heroes in this struggle. This proposal was initially sparked by the sight of anonymous well wishers trying to deliver flowers to Justice Khwaja Sharif in Lahore. One proposal was to set a date (Friday after juma prayers was suggested) at which time these deliveries would be scheduled, but I think we should leave it up to everyone to pick the time of their choosing. The intention is to flood the streets on which these people live with thousands of flowers. IF the police intercept the flowers, every effort should be made to publicly display their resistance and to leave flowers at the nearest convenient symbolic point.

Dr .Zafar at ANAA has committed one thousand dollars to this project and suggested to pick one person in each provincial capital and Islamabad and send 200 dollars worth of flowers to each recipient. One list of proposed candidates consists of:

1. Justice Rana Bhagwandas in Islamabad. (Justice Iftikhar Choudhry is the obvious choice and other organizations may wish to pick him, but we felt his stature is absolutely unassailable now and we wanted to highlight the important role played by Justice Bhagwandas. But all the other “rebel” judges are deserving of this too and it would be great if other organizations could pick people like Justice Javed Iqbal, Justice Sardar Raza, etc.)
2. Justice Khwaja Shareef in Lahore. Justice Ramday is also in Lahore these days and is most deserving of support.
3. Justice Sabeehuddin in Karachi
4. Justice Tariq Pervaiz in Peshawar
5. Unfortunately, all the judges of the BHC have become lotas. We are thinking that the most appropriate person in Quetta may be the president of the BHC bar association, who is under arrest.

Every person or organization should pick their own names and go ahead with their own timetable.

1. Take this in the spirit of a WIKI. This is not some kind of centralized top down campaign. Let each individual and organization take it in any direction and in any manner they wish. Spread the word. The most effective strategies will be the ones that evolve locally in Pakistan. I hope Sabahat Ashraf and others like him will help to spread the word.
2. Online ordering of flowers is easy, but those companies may not cooperate to the end. Most flowers should ideally be delivered by volunteers in those cities. Student organizations are the best place to target for volunteers. publicity in the press, over the internet and by word of mouth will be the most important factor in the success or failure of this campaign. Please contact whoever you can and carry this forward. ANAA will use its own resources to arrange or attempt deliveries.
3. Overseas Pakistanis can send cash to whatever person or entity they trust in order to financially support this effort.
5. Media coverage is key.

I am spreading the word. I hope others will come forward to take this much further. It sounded like a good idea to several of us, but if it sparks some other, better idea in anyone’s mind, please go ahead and act on that. Send us your proposals and we will try to spread the word.

Act locally, think globally…

@Abou Bakar
i second this structure. it will be easy to follow and may be later used as evidence/record of protests held through thi site

Can you please tell me who is organizing this in Dublin becuase Inshallah on Saturday I would be there - I cannot come on Friday as I have already give appointments to patients on Friday and cannot cancel at this late stage but yes on Saturday I would come. If you can give me more details about it I would let all my colleagues know about it and we would come to Dublin on Saturday Inshallah.

Hi, I was wondering if you can have a peaceful protest in Chicago. It is big on the ‘desi’ scene and I wanted to have something going on here.

Peaceful Protest outside the
PAKISTAN EMBASSY Dublin Ireland
Ailesbury Villa,1-B,
Ailesbury Road,
Ballsbridge,
Dublin - 4
@ 2:30pm
Orginazed by (API) Association of Pakistanis in Ireland

Just to clarify that the protest in Berlin on Saturday is supposed to start from U-Bahnhof Uhlandstr (U1) and will then march to Breitscheidtplatz (Europa-Center) via kurfuerstendamm. So instead of gathering in front of embassy, everyone should be present at 12:30 at the starting point U-Bahnhof Uhlandstr. In case anyone might be confused, there is one, not two protests planned in Berlin this Saturday against emergency.

Dear All,

While the media is banned and public gatherings are not allowed in Pakistan, we are planning a massive global ‘e-Protest’ to raise our voice.

We are targeting at least 1,000,000 signatures across the globe. We will send this petition with compiled list of signatures to anyone who want to send it to Embassies, United Nations, Human Rights Organizations, Politicians, Governments, Press and Media. Our voice will be heard globally.

http://www.gopetition.com/online/15064.html

Sign this petition and send this link to every Pakistani you know through Facebook, Emails, Orkut, Friendster, Bebo and every social networking platform available.

@chussain
I will get the full information tomorrow morning. However as far as I know it is being organized by Dr. Fazal, and it is going to be in or near Castleknock hotel in Dublin 15 at 3:00/3:30 PM.
Other protest is in front of Pakistani embassy in Dublin on Friday.
I promise to get the full information before 12:00 noon tomorrow for both events.

@Mustafa
Is it the one on Friday tomorrow?

Yes, demostration will be on Friday Nov 9th 2007

IF you like, please sign the following petition and share with family and like minded people as it is also a worthy cause.

http://www.gopetition.com/petitions/we-oppose-the-national-reconciliation-ordinance-enacted-in-pakistan.html

I completely support sending flowers on regular basis let say on each Friday to all those judges who refused to accept pco. Likewise I will fully support throwing lotas, rotten eggs and tomattoes (only rotten I know the good ones are more than Rs100/kg) to all lota judges. Also we should all call pco judges as LOTA judges and defame them the same way we do to lota politician.

Lota justice dogar and company beware you guys and your next generations will forever be remembered as lotas and mir jaffer’s and mir qasim’s of 21st century.

PPL please try to coordinate protests in pakistan…I agree with one of the comments that the military should be targeted…I would suggest like protesting in front of the corp commander offices and houses…so that they are rattled and shift their loyalties…as personal interest is supreme to these ppl and what better to threat than insecurity…When this starts then military incorporated will collapse as right now only plots and vested interests are holding it and Musharaf gurantees that to them…Pakistan Zindabad!!!

I am willing to participate in an organized dissemination campaign using the net to encourage ppl to come out…i would like someone with IT experience to guide us and organize this…i would suggest using orkut and facebook to post unified and agreed on material to this reference on university and college groups of pakistan….Pakistan Zindabad!!!

How: some bold writings on Bigger sheets of paper, pictures, and placards (suggestions welcome)
Who: all concerned Pakistanis and friends of democracy
PS: Some media coverage has been arranged.

Plz try to make the videos are pictures of these protest where u particpates and u can send to GEO, ARY, Ajj tv along with some newspaper, try to give formal invition to the Pakistani media there.

I suggest one protest against the opposition of Pakistan or atleast try to manage some display cards against them in the protests as they are doing nothing

I think we need to more than just putting on the black bands. We need to go for some solid and harsh actions that realy put pressure on the Govt of Pak. The first step that I think should be to block its financial means. This could be done at individual levels. Everyone should withdraw their money from Pakistani Banks. The secondly stop paying utility bills. All this will put Musharraf to kneis in days. I don’t think we can restore our freedum/democracy without feeling any pain. All this

A lot of us are demonstarting tommorow at 1 clock in front of Pakistani Embassy Berlin.

Pakistani Judges
Brave Judges.

easy, harmless and practical way to protest

Message from a student in Karachi:

after being let down by many ppl to come out and protest against emergency rule n musharraf in Karachi (although they wanted to contribute but they were hell frightened by the MQM ppl).

I adopted a new way to mobilize people in Karachi against dictator n it did well.. yesterday I printed out 100 pages having slogans against Dictator n dropped them at various places n streets near my house at night.. it did cost me an ink cartridge but its totally worth it..

I found many elders holding my pages n cursing emergency n crackdown against media n judiciary in the morning.. but a huge morale booster came in the evening when i found some fresh pages with different slogans near my house, someone else adapted the idea n did the same, i was holding a paper when my neighbor came to me n said you should protest too against evil in one way or the other, don’t let these fools think that we are with them if we are not coming out in protest..

Im planning to do the same tonight.. I have uploaded some ink friendly version of the slogans in my album if anyone of u wanna do the same..

You can also start a mass sms campaign to excite the people for protest and also organize it by giving a place.

Dear all,

Assalamu alaikum!

The Pakistani community in Paris and France is being mobilised against the brutality of the Musharraf regime. The imposition of martial law which has led to illegal detentions and torture of the Pakistani civil society including the lawyers, judges and students must be brought to an end. The Constitution must be restored, the judges reinstated, the innocents in jails released and democracy and human rights restored in our nation.

It is to this end that we must all strive to end his brutality. Hence, a protest has been planned. Details are as follows:

Day and date: Saturday, 10/11/2007
Place: Place de Trocadero
Time: 1300 hours
Metro: Trocadero (Line 6 & 9)

Our aim is to stand together with our people, to send a message to the Pakistani authoritarian regime that their days are numbered and that we detest their actions.

For justice, equality and freedom!

Rally - New York - Nov 13
As an expression of solidarity with our beleaguered colleagues at the
Pakistani bar, the New York City Bar Association, the New York State
Bar Association, and the New York County Lawyers’ Association, in
conjunction with other organizations, invite you to attend a public
rally in front of the New York County Courthouse, 60 Centre Street on
Tuesday, November 13, from 1:00-1:30 p.m.

The crude and brutal suspension of law and the legal system in
Pakistan , and the repression of judges and lawyers there, require
that we take a moment from our own busy schedules and demonstrate our
concern.

Because the images from Pakistan show the violent repression of
Pakistani lawyers wearing their customary dark suit and white shirt,
we request that you appear on Tuesday in similar attire, though this
is not required. What is important is a strong show of support. We
hope to see you there and encourage you to distribute this as widely
as you can. Thank you.

Protest Rally in Chicago - Nov 11
PROTEST RALLY IN CHICAGO: WE STAND AGAINST EMERGENCY RULE IN PAKISTAN

We, the citizens of Pakistan, denounce in the strongest terms General Pervez Musharraf’s recent assault on the rule of law in Pakistan. By suspending the Constitution; dissolving the Supreme Court and the provincial High Courts and replacing them with judges of his own choosing; engaging in arbitrary and unprovoked arrests of thousands of opposition leaders, journalists, and other law-abiding citizens; and violently suppressing protests by hundreds of lawyers, students, journalists, political activists and civil society members. General Musharraf is trampling upon the very system of law that alone can justify a ruler’s power over his people. We stand in solidarity with our constitutional, human and the democratic rights of the Pakistani nation, and we urge an early restoration of legality and legitimate authority in Pakistan.

In order to stage our protest against the Martial Law and suspension of the constitution and civil rights in Pakistan, we are holding a protest rally in front of the Pakistani Consulate in Chicago.

Date: 11th November 2007, Sunday
Time: 1:30 PM

Date: Sunday, November 11, 2007
Time: 1:00pm - 3:30pm
Location: Pakistani Embassy at 3517 International Court N.W.
City/Town: Washington, DC

On November 3, Gen. Musharraf suspended the constitution of Pakistan, illegally deposed the
Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, clamped down on the judiciary, used excessively violent
measures to supress dissident lawyers and human rights activists and blocked the nongovernment
media. These acts, potrayed as necessary against the War on Terror, have been
used almost singularly to attack the civil society.
These are not mundane political acts, but gross violations of civil liberty: we are not political
activists, we are protesting to protect institutions that protect our rights.

These acts potrayed as necessary against War on Terror, have been used almost singularly to attack the civil society of Pakistan and prolong Musharrafs rule in Pakistan.

These are not mundane political acts, but gross violations of civil liberty. We are protesting to protect institutions that protect our rights.

Downing Street London Protest - Sat, 10th Nov 2p.m.
Dear All,

Most of you already know that the Campaign Against Martial Law has organised a mass protest demonstration outside 10 Downing Street this Saturday, 10th November at 2p.m. You are all invited to join us there to express your solidarity with the thousands of lawyers and rights activists illegally detained in Pakistan over the past 5 days. Please spread the word around. This is time for collective action - we have to show our strength.

Please come with banners and posters with slogans. Be as creative as possible. All protestors are encouraged to tie a simple black band around their arms or neck or forehead as a visible symbol.

Some of us will be raising Pakistani flags on the occasion to visibly reclaim the legitimacy of who can speak on behalf of Pakistan: each one of us has equal right to determine the future of our country. Musharraf cannot decide Pakistan’s fate!

Please ensure that most of your banners are in English because in order to capture the British media’s attention, we need to do it in a language they understand.

So see you at number 10 Downing Street on Saturday!

@Fatima
you’ve posted the details of lot of protests around the world.
Still people have questions regarding these protest.
That’s why I would suggest again to have a link in the EMERGENCY page “Protests around the world”: This page has all the countries as Links. “” link can offer two options:
1- protest by date
2- protest by city
and then the city/date page shows all the details about the protests.
In the beginning it may take some time but afterwards it will be quite easy to add new entries. Just a suggestion.

Abou Bakar

Fatima,
Thanks for the great work.

God bless you, and our homeland!

Dear All,

The protest in Berlin is planned.

Date: Sat. 10th Nov
Time: 12:30.

Please note the error in the message above by abdulmajidmalik has a mistake. This is not in front of the emabassy. Embassy in closed on Sat.

From Abou Bakar on behalf of Mr. Ilyas Sadiq (Coordinator-Germany)

Some disinformation about protest in Berlin is being spread by pakistani embassy as well as some individuals. Here are the CORRECT details about the protest in Berlin:

Protest - Berlin, Germany - Nov 10
Date: Saturday, November 10, 2007
Time: 12:30pm - 16:00pm
Meeting Point: U-Bahnhof Uhlandstr (Near Zoo)

Protest Route: From U-Bahnhof Uhlandstr to Breitscheidtplatz (Europa-Center)

If someone is late then he/she can directly go to Europa Centre.

I repeat again ther is NO protest on November 10, 2007 in front of Pakistan Embassy BUT from U-Bahnhof Uhlandstr to Breitscheidtplatz (Europa-Center).
The embassy is obviously closed on Saturdays.

Abou Bakar

@Pejamistri

Can you please tell me a bit earlier about tomorrow protest in Dublin in Castleknock area of 3.30 pm because i have to travel from LImerick and it might take some time to reach there. If i have confirmed information beforehand I can make arrangmeent to come earlier.

ABOUT PROTEST IN BERLIN

Brother Abu Bakr and Ali,

I got the details directly from Mr.Munir Sheikh(President Pakistan welfare society stuttgar) during my call to him yesterday. I don’t know him personally but his calling number was given to me by mr.muzaffar sheikh(representative of Daily Jang in Frankfurt). May be Pakistan welfare society stuttgart has a seperate program. Any how I think that your plan is better and everyone should join you.

One of your friend has already informed about your details on Pakistanischegemeinde yahoo group(800 Pakistani members from Germany) after my email containing the same information.

@ abdulmajidmalik

Our fellow pakistanis in the Pakistani Embassy say that the protest in on Tuesday 13. November.
How disgusting these people are.

It was just an info message to avoid any confusion or misunderstanding.

Abou Bakar

Hamid mir, Talat Hussain and other anchors have decided to resign in case the channel owners decide to deal with the dictatorship. I suggest we setup a channel or atleats a webtv for these people and overseas pakistanis donate to keep it running. If these people are willing to give up their jobs and put eveything on line to get the right news to us it is our resposibility to help them as well.

any suggestions would be welcome.

@imran malik

Yes, the protest in DC is good to go. It is being supported by a bunch of local Pakistani-American student groups. Here is the link about the protest:

http://www.protest.net/event.cgi?ID=828242&state_values=SITE!.1

I am trying to arrange protest infront of Saudi, UAE, UK and USA Embassies to let them know that as Pakistani we stands with our arm forces. Mushraf made the correct decision to protect pakistan. These countries should stop messing with our politics and mind there own business.

Pakistan is been long time neutral and helped Arabs in there universal jihad. Now its time for them to leave us alone and stop pushing “Managed Democracy” and corrupt leaders on us. Saudis want to see Nawaz sharif and Emiratie and West want Bhutto. If they are so good then bring democracy in Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Egypt, Kuwait end the kings and pricess bring democracy and may be elect nawaz sharif and bhutto as there leaders.

Please arrange a mass protest infront of there embassies and consulates to let other nations know that they should mind there own business. Help us or leave us alone not put there own agenda in name of democracy.

On Wilshire Boulevard in front of consulate general of Pakistan. @ 2:30 PM to 4:30 PM

Pakistani people should withdraw money from banks - all of them and stop paying taxes and hit the goverment hard economically and it should be brought on its knees

the protest is on saturday or sunday??

I am asking about the protest in Los Angeles. and the question was to Bokhari?

Protest in Toronto took place today, Friday Nov 9, in front of Pakistani consulate at 4 P.M. The important thing in this protest was that father of Imran Munir who was kidnapped by intelligence agencies addressed the gathering.

I have uploaded two clips.

Is there any plan to porotest here in BC Canada?

The effective action to get rid off from present regime lead by Musharif, is to follow the steps of Mush. Just as he did with consitution, should public do with his P.C.O.
Refusal of orders in all departments and work strik of few days (like in PIA of past days) would compell them to run away even from the country with out any human losses.

Please mail me at pejamistri at gmail dot com

@AMM.

These MQM ppl in Karachi harrassing ppl.

I second your suggestions of printing and dropping anti Musharraf/Martial Law papers in the houses.

Mind it these disgusting ppl (Musharaf and its supporters) don’t understand the language of peaceful demonstations.

1. ppl in Pakistan should demonstrate agitation in Highways where they are in strength and intrupt Trafic.

2. In cities Civil Societies/Lawyers should arrange their demonstrations on 3,4 different locations same day, so that Police and Law Agencies may not concentrate and their force may be divided.

3. Demonstrators donot tolerate brutel use of force by police and confront/run away as much as they can.

4. Someone should contact Political Workers in pakistan and organize them for distributed agitation all over the country by blocking highways.

REMINDER:
SAN FRANCISCO RALLY today Nov 10
2-4pm

OUTSIDE CITY HALL

Several speakers and a personal friend of Munir Malik who’ll read the speech Munir read in the supreme court auditorium on May 26, 2007.

Looking for Chacha Wardi Lahnda kiyon naee, audio.

We want to play it during our rally and do dhamal on it.

Kruman - go on YouTube.com
I am sure you can find it there.

Ignore those who spread pessimism.

Generals days are numbered. He will go one step behind tomorrow, MARK MY WORDS. Whenever Bush says something, Musharraf takes one step back.

Today Bush demanded, within 24 hours, you will see Mush taking some ’soft’ approach.

Our civil society has never been so steadfast. Its the first time that a great number of judges refused. It is the first time that almost all parties have refused to accept new dummy judges.

Yazeed’s of any time are losers in any case!

IMRAN KHAN
YOUR EFFORTS WILL NOT GO WASTED.
YOU ARE BUT THE ONLY TRUSTWORTHY AND SELFLESS POLITICIAN WE HAVE.
WE BELIVE FIRMLY THAT TRUTH WINS IN THE END.
THE COMMANDO, HIS COMPANIONS AND ALL THOSE WHO ARE DEALING WITH HIM ARE GOING DOWN. ITS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME NOW.

need link to any sites with anti-Mush anti-emergency banners, we are having a protest today here in Champaign-Urbana,IL at Univ. of Illinois campus (home school of Mush’s son!) and i need some good slogans, the site i had is not working any more http://www.cspfp.search.org.pk/. urgent please

I don’t know whether this would make any difference but I see it a smart move by Lums students to make our politicians feel our presence. Bombardment of Boycott favored views may do the impossible and PPP leadership get convince to set away for this fraud which we all know would be ‘selection’, contacts of PPP leaders can be found at http://pakistanmartiallaw.blogspot.com

In a similar effort, I find some of the PML N contacts and have verified them personally by talking to these people, it’s worth dropping them a text or a call.
