A protest broke out in Korangi’s Awami Colony Saturday after night the arrest of four young men. They have been accused of robbery.
But their families believe they are innocent. A group of women, all related to the young men, staged a protest outside the Awami Colony police station. When they entered the police station to continue their protest inside, the police beat them up.
