ISLAMABAD Zach Werenski Jersey , Oct. 21 (Xinhua) -- An influential Pakistani religious leader Tahir ul Qadri announced late Tuesday he is calling off his over two-month of anti-gov't sit-in in Islamabad, which is seen a major step to reduce political crisis in the country. Qadri, however, told his supporters that his Pakistan Awami Tehrik or Pakistan Peoples Movement will continue protests in other cities.


The government welcomed Qadri's decision and a cabinet minister Saad Rafiq also urged Imran Khan to follow Qadri to end his protest.


Qadri and the former cricket icon Imran Khan had started protests with long-marches on Islamabad from the eastern city of Lahore on August 14 to mount pressure on Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to resign. However; the Prime Minister had rejected the demand.


Imran Khan announced he would not end his sit-in until the Prime Minister resigns.


At the initial stage both the leaders had camped thousands of their supporters outside the parliament house Jack Johnson Jersey , disrupting life in the capital and according the government ministers had caused huge financial losses to the national exchequer.


"I have decided to end the sit-in after consulting other coalition partners," Qadri told his supporters.


"I advise all activists to disperse and go back homes," he said, adding that the protest will continue in other cities as the second phase of his "revolution".


The protests had relatively been peaceful Sergei Bobrovsky Blue Jackets Jersey , however, three activists died and nearly four hundred injured when clashes erupted between the protesters and the riot police last month. Qadri's supporters had also stormed building of the state TV, forcing suspension of the transmission for around 30 minutes.

Imran Khan, who head Pakistan Tehrik Insaf or Justice Movement, said he will not end his sit-in despite's Qadri's decision.


"I will not go anywhere from Islamabad. I will stay here until the resignation of the Prime Minister," Khan told his supporters shortly after Qadri's announcement.


Political observers are of the view that Qadri's decision will also weaken Khan's sit-in as hundreds of protesters will leave the capital. Both parties had camp close to each other.


The sit-ins by the two parties had been the longest in the country's political history.

BEIJING Seth Jones Blue Jackets Jersey , Oct. 14 (Xinhua) -- If anyone had told Bright Eric Ohene that a major part of his work as a heart surgeon would be picking up cigarette butts in China, the Ghanaian would have thought they were joking. But in the nearly one year that he has been living in Beijing, it has become part of his routine and he no longer thinks of it as work below the dignity of a doctor with a Ph.D.


The 35-year-old quotes his mentor, renowned cardiac surgeon Dr. Zhou Yu Jie Sergei Bobrovsky Black Jersey , who is also CEO of Beijing Anzhen Hospital, where Ohene is interning, to explain the change in his mindset.


"Prof. Zhou told me, (if) you want to do something big Artemi Panarin Black Jersey , don't go for big things ... do something small in a big way."


That started with picking up the butts people left in the hospital. "The main idea is to see the distribution (of the butts)," Ohene told Xinhua. "Some patients have this habit, they can't stop smoking. So when they come (to us) they hide their smoking. We need to find the distribution of the cigarette butts ... which days of the week it is more ... We have a tally, isolate the areas and implement intervention."


It's the hospital's Initiative Against In-Hospital Cigarette Smoking project. Since one of the risk factors leading to heart diseases is smoking Seth Jones Black Jersey , the hospital is seeking to provide not only a cure but also preventive measures. Hospital admissions and outpatient visits are also treated as an opportunity to increase visitors' awareness of the risk of heart disease if they smoke. Colorful posters tell them about the quit smoking campaign and those who volunteer to join it are directed to the free outpatient clinic run to help smokers kick the habit.


"This is a very good way," Ohene said. "We are not just telling them to stop smoking, we are helping them to gradually stop smoking ... I (feel) it is really good to take an opportunity to do something that is really simple and yet can change many people's lives."


It dovetails with Ohene's personal aspiration: "It's always been my dream to improve myself and hoping that it leads to improvement in the lives of people around me. I am very glad to be in Beijing where I know all the magic happens in China."


INSPIRED BY THE OLYMPICS


It's been a long and circuitous route to Beijing from Accra, where Ohene was a researcher in biomedical science. Since both his parents were doctors Kids Sergei Bobrovsky Jersey , he was also interested in medicine and his research showed him there was a dearth of sophisticated cardiac care in Ghana, especially minimally invasive surgery, where operations are performed using tiny incisions instead of one large cut.


"The sophisticated method would make it easier, for example Kids Artemi Panarin Jersey , to treat babies born with heart problems," he said. "Ghana lacks such facilities and I saw the market for such a service."


While he was pondering which was the best place abroad to study medicine, the year 2008 arrived and the Olympic Games were hosted by China. That was an eye-opener for Ohene.
