What Lahore Police did even did not happen during Musharraf’s martial law.
I have not witnessed a situation like this after Musharaf’s Martial law. Students are booked under anti terrorist acts #StudentsNotTerrorists

Progressive Students Federation demanded release of arrested students
We demand immediate release of 196 arrested under the 7ATA. They are #StudentsNotTerrorists. While the Punjab government has failed to take action against the actual terrorists and extremists, they have started arrested the students who question their failure in all aspects. pic.twitter.com/8RKPF2cW0t

Arrested Students want justice. A video posted on social media shows the arrested students being taken into prisoner vans.
March for peace announced against the arrest of students in Lahore.
Call out to all women to join this march for peace. The registration of FIRs against students under the Anti Terrorism Act is simply not acceptable. #StudentsNotTerrorists https://t.co/tyCp5aKfjo
