Attacking teachers

Attacking teachers
June 2, 2021
Protest is a right that people need to exercise when they feel their grievances are falling on deaf ears. The highhanded manner in which the authorities have responded to protesting employees and teachers in Peshawar is something no civilized society can or should tolerate. The police arrested dozens of teachers and dispersed a protest rally by heavy baton charge and tear gas. The protest was taking place near the provincial assembly. We don’t know if any member of the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Assembly met the protesting teachers, but it is clear that several teachers received injuries when the police attacked them. This brutal use of force against unarmed protesters has sent shock waves across academic circles in the country, especially in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa where university employees and teachers have announced a pen-down strike.
