Violent Crackdown on Pro-Palestine Rally in Pakistan
At least five people have been killed in Lahore as Pakistani police violently cracked down on protesters at a pro-Palestine rally.
The protest, organised by Islamic political group Tehrik-e-Labaik Pakistan (TLP) on Monday, was called ahead of US President Donald Trump’s announcement last week of a ceasefire deal to end the Gaza war.
According to local reports, the police had attempted to negotiate a cancellation of the march prior to Monday’s violence, but those efforts failed.
No statement from authorities available.
