Amnesty calls for probe into NW incident

Amnesty International has called for an investigation into the killing of three activists during a deadly clash between troops and protesters in a restive tribal region near the Afghan border. The activists were part of a demonstration organised on Sunday by the Pashtun Protection Movement (PTM).
Two members of parliament were leading the protest when a confrontation broke out at a security checkpoint at Boya, in the North Waziristan region. "The Pakistan government must immediately order an independent and effective investigation," said Rabia Mehmood, South Asia Researcher at Amnesty, in a statement on Monday.
