PESHAWAR: Members of Pakistan’s Janikhel tribal community said on Thursday they would move their protest demonstration over the killing of four teenage boys from a northwestern town to the federal capital. The four boys, aged between 13 and 17, had gone out bird hunting when they went missing about three weeks ago. Their bodies were found last Sunday buried in a field by a shepherd grazing his cattle. Wazir said that thousands of Janikhel tribesmen had collected cash donations to arrange about 400 vehicles to move the sit-in to Islamabad on Friday if their main demands were not met by Thursday evening. The demands include action against an official in the Janikhel area in whose jurisdiction the murders took place, a “ban on a display of arms and compensation for the bereaved families of the slain boys,” Wazir said.
