Don't support army rule
Wake up, Wake up -- UNO wake up
Release, release -- Farooq Sattar
We want justice
Leader of the Nation -- Altaf Hussain

At the end of the protest demonstration a delegation of MQM office bearers and Pakistani Mohajirs living in Belgium submitted a petition to the officials of the European Parliament.
