ISLAMABAD: Thousands of people staged rallies across the country on Friday demanding the release of Mumtaz Qadri, the self-confessed killer of former Punjab Governor Salmaan Taseer, sentenced to death by the Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC).

The ATC on Saturday found Malik Mumtaz Hussain Qadri, one of Salmaan Taseer’s bodyguards, guilty of murder and sentenced him to death. About 1,000 people gathered at Islamabad’s Aabpara Chowk demanding Mumtaz Qadri’s release, an AFP photographer said.

The protesters, including supporters of religious parties and students of local madrassas, chanted slogans such as “Qadri is hero” and “We salute his courage”. They called for Mumtaz Qadri to be released immediately and shouted: “We are ready to sacrifice our lives for the honour of the Prophet Mohammad (Peace Be Upon Him).”

Rallies were also held in several other cities, including Karachi, Quetta, Multan and Rawalpindi, where witnesses said protesters blocked roads by burning tires. — AFP Our correspondents add: All major markets in Lahore remained closed on Friday responding to the countrywide strike call given by the Sunni Ittehad Council (SIC) to protest the death sentence awarded to Mumtaz Qadri.

Addressing a large rally in Lahore, the SIC leaders warned the rulers of a long march to Islamabad if Mumtaz Qadri was not released and offered President Zardari a guarantee of full five-year term to his government if he pardoned Qadri. Various religious parties and groups staged rallies and demonstrations at different places demanding early release of Mumtaz Qadri according to Shariah, while prayer leaders in Friday sermons highlighted the issue of blasphemy of the holy Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) and the ‘Western-funded conspiracies’ to amend the blasphemy laws in Pakistan, vowing to resist all such moves with full might.

The SIC rally, which marched from Data Darbar to Nasir Bagh, was led by its president Fazal Karim and others. Participants of the rally announced to observe a protest day on every Friday till the release of Mumtaz Qadri.

In Chakwal, Tehrik-e-Islam, SIC and other organisations took out the rally from Jamia Islamia Ghausia. In Gujranwala, a rally was taken out from the Sialkot Gate on the call of SIC . Similar rallies were also held in Khanewal, Lalamusa, Nankana Sahib and Sialkot, demanding the release of Mumtaz Qadri.

pakistanis religious leaders are screwed up in their heads, their whole system is flawed.

[Soldat_Amir]

A man who killed a politician who stuck up for a women who was falsly accused of charges she never committed.

This is the Pakistan that people avoid to discuss.

Lets look at it logically here, this country called Pakistan, that has masses of people who support such crimes, have a nuclear stock pile too.

Even in India, this is rare, the killer killed a unarmed innocent man.

Pakistan is the parasite of Asia, and for any nation to progress, Pakistan needs to be confronted and wiped off the map.

Wherever you go, they are corrupted, maybe its genetic or maybe its just the way they are, but Pakistan gives a bad name to region, and for the last decades they have tried their best to kick out the intellect secular progressive community in Afghanistan and replace it with these morons.

What makes it even more amusing, is these protests in Quetta?

When will we see a protest about Mullah Omars Quetta Shura?

I bet hes in Abbotabad too just like his spiritual leader Osama was, drinking coca cola while our women and children died due to their suicide bombing campaigns.

Pakistan's Islamist chickens are coming home to roost and Pakistan is likely the most corrupt country outside of Africa.

Maybe Pakistan is the new North Korea and in a few years time Pakistanis will all be sitting in the dark.

as if the CIA are out selling girlscout cookies

ever think of the possibility, they're all bad, sort of like the Mafia, each "family" is engaged in crime and they "wack" each other.

[Soldat_Amir]

Yes, In Pakistan the biggest criminals like taseer and zardari enjoy the governorship and presidency and others are sentenced to death.

The only crime Salman did was call the Blasphemous laws as "Kala Qanoon" Black laws, if you have ever had any education in your life, you would know the Blasphemous laws practiced by your social Islamist sectors of your backward society was actually implimented by the Non Muslim British.

Goes to show how deluded and destructive Pakistani society truely is.

The biggest criminals is Pakistan as a whole!

EmKhan, why dont we sentence the Jamiet Islami to death for supporting the mass murder of 1 million Muslim bengalis, the using of children as suicide bombers and the constant support for killings of innocent Afghan Muslims.

Emkhan, its people like you in Pakistan, that give all Muslims a bad name. All talk in your own country but silent while in others.

I hope India just invades Pakistan and civilizes it.

[Soldat_Amir]

Emkhan, you are the best reason why Western society as a whole wants Muslims out, hence due to your attitude such as "death to secularism" " Sharia for all" and "Taliban Zindabad" while your living abroad, just gives all decent and progressive Muslims a bad name.

Isnt it time we rid ourselves of this political correctness and be open to debate on such individuals as Emkhan, I am tired of being silenced with the whole "Racism,Discrimination card" when challenged the views of people like Em Khan.
