Thousands of mourners have flocked to the city centers across Pakistan to pay tribute to their beloved Imam, the grandson of Prophet Muhammad, who sacrificed his life along with his 72 companions in the epic but unequal Battle of Karbala.
To commemorate the great tragedy of Karbala, the mourners walked miles on foot and beat their chests in a protest against tyrants of the time.
Guided by their beloved Imam and his resistance towards tyrants, participants strongly condemned what they called the US's misadventures in the region and the chaos it left behind after its shameful withdrawal from Afghanistan.
Pakistanis traditionally cook and distribute food and beverages called Nazar-e-Imam Hussein among people in and out of mourning ceremonies. Many donate blood in Ashura processions to help others in need.
