Civil society led protests across N&E demanding burial rights of COVID-19 victims
Civil society led protests were staged across North and Eastern provinces yesterday urging the government to recognize the Muslim burial rights of the COVID-19 victims.
The protests, organized by local civil society collectives demanded that government should allow the Muslim burial of COVID-19 victims.
Over fifteen COVID-19 victims of Islamic faith have been cremated despite their relatives opposing the move since it is against their religious beliefs.
