A protest against the disappearance of a Baloch student entered its fifth day at Quaid-i-Azam University (QAU) in Islamabad on Friday, bringing all academic activities to a halt, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.
The ongoing protest affected the semester course of students. Due to suspension of transport, students failed to reach the university on time.
A meeting was held between the Baloch students and QAU administration but it was failed to yield any result.
It is necessary to mention here that a protest camp was established by the Baloch Students Council (BSC) against the enforced disappearance of a sixth-semester student, Saeedullah Baloch.
The BSC students had earlier reached out to students from other councils and groups to join the camp.
However, fearing a larger protest campaign, the administration of QAU suspended all academic activities at the varsity.
The BSC students participating in the sit-in remained wary of certain consequences and declined to disclose their names to the media.
However, speakers at the protest camp said they had remained firm in their stance for the past three days and refused to remain silent. They added that these three days have shown that students cannot be intimidated when justice is denied.
Mohammad Azam, brother of missing Saeedullah, said that the protest camp has become more than a protest site; it is a symbol of collective resilienced.
