Music/Art Lovers and Humanists:
This is an online petition in response to recent incidents which happened to Asad Qazilbash, one of the last professional sarod players in Pakistan. The story can be read in here:

Extremists have threatened him, via his own son, to stop all music-related activities at his residence and remove the signboard in front of his house. This has sadly resulted in the musician stopping his classes. He has no confidence going to the authorities because of their potential ties with extremist organizations.
This message is intended to spread the awareness of these tragic incidents and the effect it is having on Pakistani culture, general safety, and identity. These thugs should not win.
Please sign and spread this petition if you sympathize with Asad Qazilbash, and hopefully greater awareness of the crippling effect extremists are having on this once peaceful and creative society will put more pressure on their supporters.
