Pashtun Tribes Continue Khyber Pass Protest Over Alleged Extrajudicial Killing

LANDI KOTAL, Pakistan – Members of Pashtun tribes in northwestern Pakistan’s Khyber district are reluctant to end their protest over the alleged extrajudicial killing of a local young man. On February 25, members of the Shinwari and Afridi tribes continued to block the main trade artery connecting eastern Afghanistan with northwestern Pakistan through the historic Khyber Pass for the fourth consecutive day. They are demanding that authorities investigate and provide justice to the family of Adnan Shinwari.
