The Pakistan government broke up a rally on Sunday and arrested hundreds of the opposing forces. "They dragged us out, including the women," he said from the police station. "It's inhuman, undemocratic and a violation of human rights to enter a room and arrest people gathering peacefully there." People are worried about the fact that Pakistan decided to suspend its constitution. Around 200 police with assault rifles and sticks stormed into the meeting and arrested around 50 members. Musharraf, a coup leader that promised to hand over his army and become a civilian president but it did not occur. Critics say that it was all one last attempt to maintain power. His leadership is currently being threatened by an Islamic militant movement. Parliamentary elections are scheduled to take place in January but they could be delayed up to a year. The government has gone as far as to cut off the phone, television, and all Pakistan controlled TV.
This is a sad event that never should have occurred. 50 people were arrested just because one man feared that he was going to lose power. Those people had to be punished because one man was selfish. People are losing their right to vote because this one man wants to stay in power a little longer. This government needs to realize that they may be able to stay in power for a little while by taking over but the entire time they force themselves into power they will be treated terrible.
