Anti Pak protests in Paris
Financial Action Task Force (FATF) is set to decide whether or not Pakistan will be added to its blacklist. In light of this, dissidents from Baloch, Hong Kong, Pashtun, Tibet and Uyghurs from East Turkestan already started protesting outside the FATF Headquarters in Paris, demanding that Pakistan be blacklisted so it can stop funding terrorist organisations.
Protest organizers said that while Pakistan had been repeatedly adopting the tactic of showcasing taking action against terror financing by placing senior terror group leaders under arrest ahead of FATF plenaries, those UN listed entities, like the Lashkar-e-Taiba (now rebranded as Jamat ud Dawa -JuD) and Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) continued to function freely in the country, including collecting funds.
