Islamabad police baton-charge protesting doctors

Islamabad (HRNW) The police baton-charged protesting doctors outside the Pakistan Medical Commission in Islamabad Wednesday afternoon.

A number of doctors who graduated from foreign universities organised sit-ins and protests in the capital demanding that the commission accept their degrees.

“We won’t leave unless the commission registers us as medical professionals and doctors,” they demanded. The protestors chanted slogans against the PMC and held placards.

“The foreign university I graduated from is recognised by the World Health Organisation but the PMC just won’t accept my degree,” a doctor at the protest said.
