Families of the train victims picketed the Ministry of Transportation on Monday, July 25, to protest against the continued stay of their loved ones in the terrorists’ den.
This came after the terrorists released a video where the male victims were being mercilessly flogged.

The families who have been at the ministry since 6 am said they were there to express their frustration over the continued stay of those in captivity.
They vowed not to leave until they were assured of the return of their loved ones.
The demonstration came barely 24 hours after the bandits, who are holding the victims in captivity, released a new video in which they were seen manhandling some of the victims and flogging them with sticks as they cried and pleaded for help.
Although some of the train passengers have been released after ransoms were reportedly paid, dozens of victims are said to be left in the custody of the bandits.
In the new clip, one of the abducted passengers was captured narrating how they were kidnapped and lamenting that the government has failed to secure their release.
He pleaded with members of the international community, including the United Nations, the United Kingdom, the United States, and France, among others to help secure their release.
