SWEDEN

Comrades and friends,

Pakistani community in Sweden has planned protests on this weekend in Lund, Stockholm, Karlskrona, and Linkoping.

Another protest demo is planned on Nov 17 in Stockholm. Also, we are discussing here to do a co-ordinated, syncronised demo across Sweden.

It is mostly Paksitani students here organising these demonstrations in collaboration with left activists having Pakistani background.

Of late, Sweden has been pretty generous in granting student visas to South Asians hence student community from Pakistan is reasonably big in size (according to Swedish standsrds).

Many would-be demonstrators on weekend would demonstrate or hold a placard first time in their lives. The brave struggle in Paksitan by activists and advocates has electrifies expat Pakistanis, it seems. Demonstrations are held across western Europe.

Meantime, Scottish Socialist Party in Scotland and Democratic Socialist Party (both sympthetic to Labour Party Pakistan) in Australia have held demonstrations.

Labour Party will try to co-ordinate a world wide day of action in few weeks time.
