Thousands of people from Pakistan’s tribes rallied in Peshawar, demanding the release of scores of suspects being held by authorities on alleged links to

terrorists.

The participants chanted against security forces and carried portraits of relatives they claim went missing during military operations in recent years.

The rally was organized by the Movement for Protection of Pashtuns group. The rally also called on authorities and the army to clear mines planted in their

areas during their operations there.

The protestors also demanded international community to intervene in the war crimes against Pashtuns in Federally Administered Tribal Areas, Waziristan.
