Lal Masjid affiliates vandalise Aurat March mural in Islamabad

Islamabad (HRNW) Men from Lal Masjid stopped the painting of a mural by Aurat March 2020 volunteers and later vandalised it in Islamabad’s F-7 Tuesday night.

“We had been painting the wall of a house in the area since Tuesday morning,” Nida Mushtaq, a painter and organiser of the march present at the venue, told local Tv Channel on Wednesday.

“Late that evening, when we had almost completed the mural, 10 to 15 men from Lal Masjid, accompanied by the senior superintendent of the police, arrived at the venue and forced us to stop the painting midway.”

Organisers and participants of Aurat March 2020 have been installing murals on walls across the country. “It’s a way to promote the march and raise awareness about its essence,” Mushtaq said.

She confirmed that whenever they do this, the organisers make sure they seek permission from the authorities. That day too they had permission from the owner of the house.
