In these videos, one of the leaders of the protest committee also says that security forces attacked "dishonourably" during prayer time and mealtime and warns that the government will face the consequences of its actions. The Pak government has required a passport and visa to cross the Chaman-Spin Boldak border since 29 May, last year. Thousands of residents of Chaman district in Balochistan province, Pakistain, have resorted to besieging and demanding the repeal of this law. Previously, residents on both sides of the border could travel back and forth with an Afghan ID card and Pak passport. After about seven months of protest and besieging, the Pak government has not yet positively responded to the demands of the protesters, and they demand the lifting of this siege.
