Prominent Pashtun Tahafuz Movement (PTM) leader Gilaman Wazir was reportedly attacked in Islamabad, sustaining severe injuries and now fighting for his life. The PTM's US chapter has called for Wazir to be moved from Pakistan to Germany for urgent medical treatment, citing the critical nature of his injuries.
Gilaman Wazir, a leading PTM activist, is in critical condition after a vicious attack in Islamabad. We urgently need to transfer him to Germany for essential medical treatment. GermanyinPAK, we urge you to expedite his visa process immediately. His survival depends on it, the PTM US chapter posted on social media.
Jessica Kroner, a human rights activist affiliated with Peace for Asia in Geneva, also echoed these demands, highlighting the inadequacy of medical facilities in Pakistan to treat Wazir's injuries. She called on the Pakistani authorities to arrange an air ambulance for the human rights defender's transfer to Germany.
I'm Jessica, a German national, and I've been actively supporting the Pashtun Protection Movement in Pakistan for years, Kroner stated. Our colleague, Gilaman Wazir, a respected poet and PTM figure, is critically injured in Islamabad. Doctors recommend immediate evacuation to Germany due to the lack of necessary medical facilities here. We urgently request Pakistan to facilitate an air ambulance for his transport to Germany for life-saving treatment.
