Protestors from Pishkan, Gwadar, Zamran, Turbat, Pasni, Buleda and Ormara are participating in the sit-in. They have vowed to continue their protest till their demands are met. Launched almost a month ago, 'Gwadar Ko Haq Do’ movement is led by Balochistan’s general secretary of the Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) Maulana Hidayat-ur-Rehman.
The protesters have presented 19 demands; including taking actions to free the sea of the ‘trawler mafia’ enabling fishermen to openly go into the waters. They have also demanded the removal of token system at the Pak-Iran border and to dispel inessential security check posts which is a hindrance in the movement of locals.
The protestors lament that most of the people employed by the China Overseas Port Holding Company were from outside of Gwadar and their arrival has stolen locals' livelihoods. Furthermore, the protesters are also seeking basic facilities like health, education, and infrastructure in all cities of Balochistan.
