| Pak lawyers getting thumped by Pak police. Oh, whom shall I root for? |
 At least 17 people were injured when the Rawalpindi Police baton charged a procession of lawyers of the Rawalpindi District Bar Association on Tuesday. More than 200 lawyers took part in the demonstration outside the district courts against the demolition of lawyers' chambers in Gujar Khan. The lawyers carried placards inscribed with slogans against the chambers' demolition on the directives of Rawalpindi District and Sessions Judge Chaudhry Asad Raza. The demonstrators were heading towards Kachehri Chowk when policemen already present there stopped them. The lawyers and the policemen argued with each other and ended up in a brawl. The policemen baton-charged and tear-gassed the demonstrators to disperse them. |
