Many participants have suffered bruised and blistered feet but have not been provided with any medical treatment.....their bleeding wounds have been wrapped with nothing more than pieces of cloth The 730-kilometers Long March of the family members of the disappeared persons from Balochistan has covered more than 600 kilometers and entered its 20th day. The Long March starts each day at 6 am and ends at 6 pm, covering an average of more than 20 kilometers each day. Many participants have suffered bruised and blistered feet but have not been provided with any medical treatment even though some of them can only walk with the aid of sticks. Their bleeding wounds have wrapped with nothing more than pieces of cloth. No philanthropist organizations or individuals have provided ambulances despite several requests from the protesters. The Long March has started attracting the attention of media houses. However, the coverage is not at all sufficient in the face of the intensity of the issue of disappearances and extrajudicial killings. The historical Long March will reach Karachi, the capital of Sindh province, on November 21 after covering the remaining 150 kilometers. The protestors will then start a hunger strike in front of the Karachi Press Club for the recovery of disappeared persons and against extrajudicial killings. http://www.humanrights.asia/news/ahrc-news/AHRC-STM-210-2013#.Uohigec3YOk.facebook
