islam about drug testing. i'm saying if they believe they have been facing inbox, funny society now these women head out apart. often they sent women's rights movement, not as order to march on the mid march and english. this march started in 2018 and over years it has grown insight. now, critics and the guns over to prove that audit march is against nomic values and culture of pakistan. if they look at focus on recent history, this is the most controversial and most heavily criticized women's rights move. now, women marchers, faith that bid fight against it, just impact on. and that's all they ask for, is that women be treated as equal citizens in the country with speak to some of the women participants present here? do you think women are march or audit?

march movement has been able to change anything and doctors on society. first of all, i saying that it has changed a lot of discussions around women's rights and the abuse that women face in focus on what we're not happening before or it's march before it became controversial. and because before march, now, every year we have these discussions, we had these debates, we are these arguments massively across the country, which we do not see before. thank you very much. now we can see a lot of people are holding different blackouts parents. a that's often used and mostly criticize, is this one? what is made out to somebody? and this means best my body, my right. now, critics say that women mark just use this slogan, asked for sexual emancipation or sexual freedom. what does it mean made out to somebody might say, is my body to my right, my body is my integrity,

my content should be respected. i should not in my like one thing i should be allowed to get education. i should be, i should be allowed to work that. what? thank you very much. oh, now just a few meters away. this is happening. this is called high r march ought in english what this march. and this movement started to counter the audit march. you want, it was not allowed to speak to these women and gilbert this event without covering my head. now these women off for a more traditional buck is done, but a woman should stay at home and pick up her family. we also speak to some of the women present care. up about you get up, ordered march. you go on out of mud with nick under. they have a do they have plenty, give me a call at the mother. be there? call at the nika. how much will control gonna make you the all you but on the moon it's now me will not, it's not me. why should i time?

specially when it comes to the role of women women's marches were not the only protests in pakistan. the last 24 hours, former prime minister in marin con supporters, some of whom radish fix clashed with police in lahore. officers responded by firing tear gas. one demonstrated reportedly died. others were injured and more were detained. the escalation prompted con to call off a planned rally, and he accused the government of intentionally making the situation worse. the city had band public gatherings earlier in the day, in a move, widely viewed as specifically targeting con. he has already been on air or rather taken off air. pakistan's media regulator has band broadcasts of con, speeches on charges. he is spreading hate against the nations institutions,

a reference to the all powerful military. turning now to indonesia, where a court has sentenced to football, match officials to prison for one of the world's deadliest, emptied rather stadium crushes 135. people died last year after police fire tear gas into the crowd. the official sentenced to 18 months was found guilty of negligence for selling too many tickets, and another a security officer was sentenced to one year. here's a look back at what happened at the game between a my to buy it in october last year. these were the chaotic scenes that led to a football match, becoming deadly in total indonesian police $545.00 rounds of tear gas at the match . last october world footballs governing body thief bands, the practice inside stadiums. and for good reason,

135 people died in the resulting stampedes. this graffiti on the stadium was making the fans feelings clear. it was the biggest loss of life at any game of football for almost 60 years. protesters took to the streets to call for a thorough investigation into the disaster. officials and indonesia had already pinpointed the firing of kick ass is the main cause of the stamp. pete. the police are to blame other factors, including the stadium being over filled and exit. gates being locked shots, 3 police officers and 2 match officials went on trial, charged with negligence. the match officials have now been convicted and given jail time. the police officers await judgement. joining us as t w's rebecca not to pull in jakarta. rebecca, this just happened a few hours ago, but what is the reaction you're seeing so far from the public over this sentencing?

yes, the public expressed their disappointment over the sentencing 18 months in prison for abdul harris as organizing comma t chairman of r m f c. and one, you're in prison for a circle slippery snow as i must security officer. this is much lighter than what the prosecutors had called for 6 years and 8 months sentences for both defendants and the her public feels that this doesn't deserved doesn't serve the justice for the death of a 135 people that died in the tragedy. and the family members of the victim even said that they would prefer for the defendants to be released free because this is not the result that they hold for. and the family members also feel that

this show how worthless the lives of all the people who died on the death the us football stadium, tragedy in the country's history. so there are allied aw of disappointment and also anger field over the sentencing and the family member also claimed that the trial is full of many pollution and political schemes. so what happens next? i mean, do, will we see further prosecutions? and do you think, given this sentencing officials or will they take a serious, long term look at the safety of these large venues? so one other suspect i've had young as the former president, director of fed, they li, got indonesia battle. he is responsible, as the national football competition organizes organizer has not begin his trial yet as the east java regional police have not been able to complete the case file

since december 2022. so this is another case that we have to follow through as well . but the indonesian football association said that this tragedy was a very important wake up call for the indonesian football to become a better organization as well. and in terms of security across stadiums, this is what they have to look for as well. rebecca not be to pollute. thank you so much for joining us. in south korea, reality tv series, looking into the lives of unmarried couples living together, has captured a lot of attention in a generally conservative and judgmental society presents in south korea. the expected question for women is, is he a keeper? but in this show, women beside if they want to be kept. jo ann lee have been together for 10 years, but in a rather unconventional way. they're not married. good over here. this is why do i
