Dear friends,
Greetings.
I would like to share with you that Pakistan Fisherfolk Forum [PFF} and PILER in collaboration with Focus on Global South and other Indian organizations have launched a campaign for the release of fishermen detained by Indian and Pakistani governments.
In this regard a Round Table discussion was held in Delhi on 19th April. Mr. Karamat Ali, PILER ED, Mr. Iqbal Hyder, former law minister and Justice Nasir Aslam Zahid, member of official Joint Judicial Committee participated from Pakistani side.
As follow up to Delhi RT, six civil society organizations from India and Pakistan wrote a joint letter to Indian and Pakistani prime ministers yesterday (27th April) demanding immediate release of fishermen. We also released a press statement yesterday which has appeared in almost all news papers today.
I am attaching the news item, copy of press release and also copy of letter for your reference, action and solidarity.
PFF is also staging a protest demonstration in front of Karachi Press Club today (28th April).
In solidarity,
Mohammad Ali Shah, PFF
Zulfiqar Shah, PILER
Jatin Desai, Focus
