As soon as German Ambassador to Pakistan Alfred Granas started his speech, some of the young people in the audience got up and started a loud dialogue. The students also raised slogans in favor of Gaza and Palestine.
The youth raised slogans of Free Free Palestine. The German ambassador could not control himself for speaking loudly and scolded the youth. The organizers of the conference expelled the youth who spoke in favor of Palestine from the human rights conference.
