*'Aman Ittehad' - Peace and Solidarity Day (Pakistan) on January 1,
2010
Citizens across the nation will come together on the 1st day of 2010
to usher in a decade of peace, justice, equity and tolerance. More
than a hundred youth, media, legal, labour, and other civil society
organizations from across Pakistan will come together to express
their resolve to struggle for the right to 'a life of dignity'.
Rallies are planned at 3:00pm, Jamshoro, Badin Dadu, Larkana, Sukkur,
Hyderabad, and Karachi.
“Join us.... for neither can we afford the luxury of indifference nor
a lack of expression of the values that we hold so close to our
hearts. Let our resolve find expression. We are one and we are all
equals. Solidarity Day marks the beginning of a journey of building
trust between citizens and the strengthening of democratic values and
institutions.”
