A London-based rights group has expressed alarm over reports of mass arrests and the imposition of emergency law in Pakistan’s Gwadar amid large-scale protests against "illegal fishing through trawlers". "Amnesty International is alarmed by reports of mass arrests and the imposition of emergency law following protests in Gwadar. People have the right to express discontent peacefully and the state has an obligation to facilitate this right," Amnesty International said in a statement posted on its twitter handle.
