The officer reportedly said, “Can you turn it to the front?”, referring to the identification card hanging around Munir’s neck. The interaction appeared routine, but the footage was recorded and later circulated widely on social media platforms, where it quickly gained traction.
Sindhi Group Stages Protest
Meanwhile, the Sindhi political organisation Jeay Sindh Muttahida Mahaz (JSMM), which has been active abroad, staged a protest outside the conference venue in Germany. Members of the group objected to Munir’s participation and raised allegations of human rights violations in Pakistan.
JSMM chairman Shafi Burfat said statements had been sent to the United Nations, the European Union, the German government and other international human rights organisations, expressing concern over Munir’s presence at the global forum.
