What Really Happened?
Police in Islamabad arrested Senator Mushtaq, Humaira Tayyaba, and several other activists. Women and children were also taken into custody. These individuals came together to protest the violence in Gaza and Lebanon, and to honor the shahada of Hassan Nasrallah.
Although the protest was peaceful, the authorities responded with force. This has led many to call the government’s actions unjust.
Why Maria B on Palestine Protests Matters
Maria B reminded her followers that Pakistan is an Islamic country. She believes the government should support Palestine—not punish those who do. Many citizens agree.
Freedom of speech and the right to protest are basic rights. Silencing peaceful voices sets a dangerous example.
Let the People Speak
Maria B on Palestine protests is not just a trend—it’s a movement. Her voice reflects what many Pakistanis feel. The government must choose justice, allow peaceful protests, and stand on the right side of history.
