 | | The former navy commander, Adml (retd) Fasih Bokhari, who had tried to visit the military farms with another PRM representative in May, was denied access to the villages at a roadblock, he later told OneWorld.net, an online features service. |
 | | "The disadvantaged will organise themselves politically and will arm themselves," Asha Amirali, the PRM representative who accompanied Bokhari, told IRIN and he and she had been made to sit and wait until they were told to go back. |
 | | In August 2002, shortly after clashes between villagers and authorities left at least five dead, the secretary-general of the Pakistan Labour Party, Farooq Tariq, told IRIN this was not merely a dispute between the farmers of the Okara military farms and the authorities. |
