i'm melissa chan and welcome to news asia thank you for joining us month or pesh teen is the face of a growing protest movement in pakistan one daring to challenge the country's powerful military and earlier this week officials arrested him on conspiracy and sedition charges has accused security forces of widespread abuse against the ethnic minority under the pretext of its war on terror his group has accused the military of extrajudicial killings and thousands of disappearances he says that as the army has battled is almost militants it has unfairly targeted passions in the country's north west in just the 2 years of his activism has seen his movement grow across the country the military has imposed a strict media blackout on the group but their peaceful protests still draw tens of

thousands of people. i'm joined in the studio by an alley of social media service and also d w correspondent shots at jelani shots ed let's start with you who is minds are pashtun and why is this message gaining ground. most people in pakistan had never heard of seen until about 2 years ago it's a fascinating story how he's now suddenly a household name in pakistan he's somebody was born in the tribal region of salt as you just on it's a border region along the finest on he's a son of a schoolteacher he was studying veterinary science in school and he grew up during the so-called war on terror you witnessed a lot of bombing and killings and brutality around him and eventually his own family was forced to move out of the tribal areas so he has seen all this firsthand and when you hold rallies across pakistan where tens of thousands of young people

come he speaks from his heart from his bosom experience and that's why his message resonates with a lot of people the pakistani army however sees him as a foreign funded agent they call him a traitor they seem as somebody who is acting on behalf of external forces namely on a stone and there are many opposition groups why do you think that the military is particularly threatened by him. well. many people who criticize the military or its alleged abusers in. pakistan's other areas. they come from different ethnic groups the reason seen as a bigger threat is because he belongs to up their own economic identity now the pakistani army is mostly comprised of people from punjab soldiers are mainly accrued from the biggest province of punjab and the 2nd biggest ethnic group pushed around and

there's a fear that munjal bush seems message is resonating that bush soon officers and soldiers over the forces so it becomes a case of sort of divided loyalties and sort of pakistani army wants to ensure that this doesn't carry on and david do whatever they can to stop him washouts it was just talking about the message being spread omar i'm curious if there is a media blackout against reporting on this movement how is the message spreading it is true indeed the has been a media blackout and you can't really cover or talk about the movement by maneuver seen on on local media. unless it is taking cues from the military and sort of. beating the talking points of the establishment but but as you said they have been a huge following both on the ground and on social media and i think it's partly due to the use of social media like twitter and facebook i've been following them for

the last week. to begin and they have been using social media to cause their protests across pakistan and across across the word and they have been light streaming. you know the protest and at times that protests have been watched by thousands of people or what have you been seeing over the last few days since his arrest so it's very interesting and i'll show you this one tweet by a local. just in karachi was covering up for august she adored their smartphone has become a writes that device in pakistan to make their life being heard over the activists are life streaming the protest and this was a protest of about a few 100 people. talk about censorship has anyone commented about censorship and the fact that this movement isn't being reported on yeah i think unfortunately for the i think for the large fired a lot of a lot of t.v. genizah not even trying to cover them anymore but there was this one t.v.

presenter who explained why the last segment of the program was dropped earlier this week she wrote on twitter saying because i devoted on most of the most and is one of the parliamentarian's linked with b t m and she adored she on what charges was arrested but it was censored and she wrote welcome to censor a stand people must suffer in silence well up till now the state has seemed unsure of how to deal with monster push teen he emphasizes peaceful demonstration and upholding the constitution here's an excerpt from a speech he gave last year in lahore. to the people who call us traitors the constitution of pakistan shows who is a real traitor article 19 and pakistan's constitution says that the people have freedom of speech. article 6 of pakistan's constitution clearly says anyone who

sabotages the constitution is a traitor how many times have these generals sabotaged this constitution. so is he correctly quoting the constitution there and if so do the charges of hate speech and sedition against him hold any water. well most people don't think so basically he's calling for accountability of people in the pakistani army people who are allegedly involved in ordering killings and abductions and committing torture and abuses and it. has been seen before in standard anyone with a day a politician right. activists when they call for that accountability day are in turn accused of being a traitor and been put in jail. on it shouted jelani and social media editor thanks to you both.
