KARACHI: Over 5,000 people rallied against the alleged desecration of the Koran by US military interrogators at Guantanamo Bay prison here on Wednesday and burnt an effigy of United States President George W Bush, said witnesses.
The protestors, mostly Islamic students, also chanted anti-US slogans as they left the headquarters of Jamat-e-Islami and walked to hold a demonstration at the tomb of Muhammad Ali Jinnah.
The rally was organised by the MMA, which called it a prelude to countrywide demonstrations expected on Friday. “These demonstrations will not stop unless the US apologises and punishes the American soldiers responsible for the desecration of the Quran,” MMA Vice President Ghafoor Ahmed told participants. afp
