Pakistanis block Slaughterer NATO supplies route

Members of two political parties in Pakistan, which are opposed to US drone attacks in their country, have blocked a supply route for the US-led NATO forces stationed in neighboring Afghanistan.

According to AFP, the Tehreek-e-Insaf and Jamaat-e-Islami party members have been holding a sit-in on one of the main NATO routes in Pakistan’s city of Peshawar and have not let any NATO supply trucks cross the northwestern border into Afghanistan for the past three weeks.
Protesters spend days and nights stopping all travelling trucks and checking them to make sure they are not carrying supplies for US-led forces in Afghanistan, before clearing them to pass through the province.
The members say US drones have killed thousands of innocent civilians and left their families in an endless mental trauma.
Younus Zaheer Mohmand, a Tehreek-e-Insaf party member said “We believe that innocent people have died in these drone attacks…and the attacks psychologically have damaged these people, they cannot sleep in these places.”
Female party members have also joined the sit-in and have vowed to continue the protest against the United States.
