Islamabad’s Red Zone sealed ahead of JI’s Gaza march today

Islamabad Red Zone has been sealed using containers and barbed wire amid heightened security concerns ahead of the Jamaat Islami Gaza March today.

The entrances and exits of the Red Zone have been fortified with barriers, razor wire, and heavy containers. Security personnel have increased patrolling and checking in and around the sensitive area, with additional police and paramilitary forces deployed to maintain order.

The district administration has officially prohibited any form of unlawful gathering in Islamabad, particularly near government buildings. The move comes amid security alerts and growing concerns about potential protests or political activity in the capital.

Authorities have urged the public to cooperate with law enforcement and avoid restricted areas to ensure safety and order.

Police have warned that a strict action will be taken against those taking law into their own hands, adding additional police have reached the capital to deal with any untoward situation.

Earlier, JI emir Hafiz Naeem ur Rehman had announced that a massive Gaza solidarity march will be held in Islamabad on April 20.

The JI chief also called for a nationwide strike on April 22 as part of the Global Call for Gaza. Hafiz Naeem said that millions will gather for the historic march in Islamabad to protest Israeli atrocities and US support.

“People across the world are expressing hatred for Israel and the US. Israel is murdering innocent children, and once again, the US has proven itself to be a global terrorist,” he said.
