The protest was led by the National Trade Union Federation (NTUF), the Home-Based Women Workers Federation (HBWWF), along with other social, political and human rights organizations.

The demonstrators demanded the arrest of the journalist’s killers and those, including political and social activists, who were killed before him.

They further demanded that authorities protect the lives of journalists and media workers by ensuring the implementation of the Protection of Journalists Law.

During the protest, a demand was made to end the harboring of hostile and anti-democratic elements within political parties, with an emphasis on abandoning support for the ‘tribal leader’ involved in the murder of Gadani, Geo News reported.

Meanwhile, the protesters also called for the recovery of all missing citizens, including Farhad, and the punishment of those involved in the heinous act.

Moreover, the protest also called for the registration of all media workers with social security and pension institutions.
