disbanding

The protesters - led by Hefazat-e-Islam, which has a representative on the interim government's cabinet of advisers - demanded the disbanding of the women's commission, and its members punished for making those proposals.

The administration has also expressed interest in disbanding FEMA, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, as early as this fall.

For Rondek and her family, who are pro-PKK, the group disbanding would be both a moment of "pride and pain, especially after our huge loss".

The president has also made sweeping changes at the Federal Emergency Management Agency, including canceling grants and cutting staff, and has suggested disbanding the agency altogether as soon as this fall.

The process aimed at disbanding loyalist paramilitary groups has failed, a former security watchdog has told BBC Northern Ireland's Spotlight programme.
