Police beat up Senator Mushtaq, Save Gaza campaigners for holding 'Aid Hamas March' in Islamabad

Jamaat-e-Islami Senator Mushtaq Ahmed Khan and Saze Gaza campaigners were reportedly beaten by Islamabad police personnel for organising a march to support the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas.

According to Save Gaza campaign's official X account, the law enforcers batoned-charge when the protesters started their march to the American Embassy in Islamabad.

The march was held to show solidarity with Hamas as the Palestinian resistance had urged the global community to protest in front of American Embassy on Friday.

Several videos went viral on social media, showing police brutally torturing demonstrators with batons and sticks.
