Protests are continuing in Pakistan against the U.S. drone war. On Monday, dozens of lawmakers marched on the U.S. consulate in KPK province to deliver a petition calling for an end to drone strikes.
Siraj ul Haq, KPK minister of finance: “Drone attacks are a violation of the U.N. Charter. Today, these members of the National Assembly, Cabinet members and members of the Provincial Assembly have gathered here on behalf of hundreds of thousands of residents of KPK province, and indeed on behalf of millions of Pakistani people. We have handed a memorandum demanding an immediate end to drone attacks on our sacred soil.”
Sit-ins were also held Monday in parts of the KPK to block NATO supply routes used for the Afghan War.
