Pakistan: Protesters demonstrate against death of young person in 'police brutality' in Swat
A large number of protesters surrounded the Matta police station in Pakistan's Swat region recently after a young man died at a local hospital allegedly due to police torture.
The deceased Sanaullah's relatives alleged he was arrested by the police recently.
“The police tortured him during investigation and when his condition worsened, he was sent to jail instead of hospital,” they told Dawn News, adding that owing to his critical situation the jail sent him to the hospital where he breathed his last.
The protesting family members said the boy's body had signs of brutal violence.
They placed the youth’s body in front of the Matta police station, barricading the road and launched a forceful protest, Dawn News reported.
Additionally, they urged the authorities concerned to initiate legal proceedings against the police officers allegedly involved in the violent incident.
