KARACHI: A protesting sit-in outside Sindh Governor House, staged by Pasban-e-Jafriya against the killing of their key leader Askari Raza, has at last come to an end after the authorities assured their demands would be met. Meanwhile, the agitators have left for Wadi-e-Hussain graveyard for burial of the deceased, reports SAMAA on late Sunday.
According to details, the protesting sit-in, outside Sindh Governor House jointly staged by several Shiite organizations, lasted for no less than 10 hours against the killing of a key leader, Askari Raza and against the police.
During the sit-in, a large number of protestors including women, children, elderly men and youth were sitting on the road of Governor House located in the heart of the city, defying the roughness of chilly weather. It was a peaceful sit-in which continued for several hours without any eventuality.
Later, the authorities assured the demonstrators that their demands would be met which prompted the attendees to offer funeral prayer of deceased Raza outside Governor House. The dead body has been moved to Wadi-e-Hussain graveyard for burial.
Earlier in the day, the central leader of Pasban-e-Jafriya, Askari Raza was shot dead amid an assassination attack in Gulshan-e-Iqbal locality, leaving deceased�s friends critically injured on the spot. The assailants were riding motorcycle when they opened indiscriminate fire at the car of PJ�s leader.
The assassination triggered violence and panic in the metropolis since Saturday evening which turned out to be a massive protest gathering in front of Governor House by the end of the day.
Earlier, the heirs of Askari Raza announced to offer funeral prayer on Sunday but later a large number of Shiite protestors rallied to stage protest at Shahra-e-Pakistan, demanding registration of FIR against the culprits and also asking for nominating SSP CID Aslam Chaudhry in the FIR, because police had refused to do so.
Subsequently, the protestors marched up to Governor House from Ancholi as the night falls and staged there a 10-hour long protest.
Seeing the number of demonstrators rise, a six-member committee was summoned in Governor House for dialogue. Following the successful talks, Sindh Governor Ebad and Faisal Raza Abdi, Advisor to the President, assured the committee that the killers would be booked soon.
On the occasion, Ebad assured that the judicial inquiry would be initiated into the slaying, accepting the demand of case registration against SSP CID Chaudhry Aslam and Orangzaib Farooqi. Moreover, the lawsuit was registered with Gulshan-e-Iqbal police station upon the complaint of Dr. Samar Abbas and the brother of deceased Raza.
Consequently, the protestors scattered, concluding the sit-in at 6am on Monday after viewing the copies of FIR. SAMAA

That well known candy-house in the Hansel and Gretel fairy tale has captured the imagination of many of us when we were children. And now the world\'s largest-ever gingerbread house is bringing back those memories.
The tasty house is located in the US state of Texas and it\'s nearly the size of a tennis court. And of course it has an edible exterior. This house was built by a group of volunteers, all in the name of charity. And now it holds the Guinness World Record for the world\'s largest gingerbread house. The group used thousands of pounds of sugar, eggs, butter, flour and other ingredients, as well as 23 thousand pieces of hard candy, decorating the outside of the house. But you might want to think twice before grabbing a bite as the structure packs in a staggering 36 million calories. Better to look, and not touch!

17th Dec08-Veterans Shoe Protest Over Iraq War at White House- English

On Wednesday December 17 2008 activists staged a Shoe In demonstration in front of the White House. The rally was in solidarity with Iraqi journalist Muntadhar al Zaidi.
WASHINGTON, Dec 17: About 100 people gathered outside the White House on Wednesday to protest for the release of the Iraqi journalist who hurled his shoes at President George W. Bush over the weekend.
Muntazer al-Zaidi, who works for the Al Baghdadia Television, has been in custody since disrupting President Bush’s weekend press conference with the size-10 projectiles. If convicted, Mr Zaidi may be jailed for up to seven years.
The protesters brought a giant head of President Bush, threw shoes at it and covered it with shoes before ending their protest.
They also brought bags of shoes representing Iraqis and US soldiers who have died since the Bush Administration’s “illegal invasion” of Iraq.
The peace activists urged the Iraqi government to release Mr Zaidi without charges and have set up a fund to support him and his family.
At the White House, Press Secretary Dana Perino said the president had “no hard feelings” about the Iraqi journalist who flung shoes at him.
Asked if Mr Zaidi should be forgiven, Ms Perino said Mr Bush trusted Iraq’s legal system to decide an appropriate punishment for the assault.
The protesters outside the White House also displayed names of thousands of Iraqis killed in the war. The display contained their names, ages, places where they were killed and how they were killed.
“These are real people,” said Gael Murphy, one of the cofounders of the Code Pink which along with three of the groups had participated in the protest. “They were killed because of the US invasion.”Later, representatives for Code Pink, Women for Peace, Iraq Veterans Against the War, and Veterans for Peace told a news conference that they had come to White House to remind the Bush administration and the American people that “Mr Bush is directly responsible for the deaths of 1.5 million Iraqis and 4,200 US troops”.
They noted that the war also displaced more than five million Iraqis.
“Bush is the real criminal, not al-Zaidi,” said one of them. “Al-Zaidi speaks for millions of people across the world.”
“Arrest Bush, not Zaidi,” chanted the protesters as they marched outside the White House. “Bush is a war criminal,” shouted the protesters as they spanked a giant picture of the US president with shoes.
The speakers who addressed the news conference noted that Mr Zaidi had become something of a folk-hero in the Arab world, and his shoe-throwing had become a symbol of dissatisfaction with ‘Bush’s bungled war in Iraq’

On a peaceful day in front of the White House there was a group focused on US aggression of nuclear proportions.
Nearly 30 years ago William "Doubting" Thomas started the White House Anti-Nuclear Peace Vigil. He died in 2009. But since then, his supporters such as “Concepcion” who's a fixture here--have been carrying out his legacy of urging the US government to redefine its nuclear development and nuclear aggression against other countries.
Thomas' widow Ellen says more nuclear weapons don't make the population safer.
The vigil in front of the white house couldn't come at a more poignant time. With nuclear reactor failures in Japan after a massive earthquake and the us participation of strikes over Libya after a un-mandated no-fly zone, activists say the us government is headed in the wrong direction regarding nuclear development and military activity.

The US administration warns the Congress that passing new sanctions against Iran will prove to the world that America negotiates in bad faith. White House spokesman Jay Carney says passage of new sanctions will undermine efforts to achieve a peaceful resolution of the standoff over Iran\'s nuclear program. He stated that any new sanctions would give the Iranians Quote-- an excuse Unquote to push the terms of the Geneva nuclear agreement to the side. The latest push by the White House comes as several groups of Republican and Democratic senators are making efforts to target Iran with a new set of sanctions. Carney added that if Tehran failed to abide by the terms of the deal, the White House would support new sanctions against the country. According to last month\'s Geneva deal, the U-S and its Western partners made a commitment to refrain from imposing new sanctions for six months.
