Recently, doctors, nurses, paramedical staff and other healthcare providers in Sindh have been holding protests over the denial of a health risk allowance. Based on reports and eyewitness accounts, the authorities have cracked down on these protests manhandling, baton-charging and water cannoning protesters. It is important for the authorities to remember that the right to protest is a universal human right.
I would recommend that the provincial health ministry and the CM Sindh negotiate with the protesters and resolve this matter as soon as possible as essential healthcare services are being disrupted.
