PESHAWAR: The Pakistan Trade Union Campaign staged a protest demonstration against the Saudi government and condemned the torture of protesting laborers, who were demanding their rights of wages from various companies in Saudi Arabia. The protest rally was led by the chairman of the union Ghufran Ahad and Secretary Sangeen Bacha. Holding banners and placards the protesters chanted full throated slogans against the Saudi government for not giving security of jobs to the labourers. Addressing on the occasion, the chairman of the organisation Ghufran Ahad said that the poor labourers were lashed in Saudi Arabia when they protested for their rights. He said that in previous year the government of Saudi Arabia terminated the jobs of 70,000 labourers and its companies confiscated their salaries for one year which is total injustice with the people of the country. They demanded of the government to inform the Saudi government regarding the torture and detention of the labourers and release them without any delay as their family members were worried about the plight of the children. Large numbers of labourers are suffering financially and continuously cancelling their visas in Saudi Arab due to seizing of their salaries and termination of their jobs by various construction companies.
