"Pakistani police have arrested more than 100 people following violence in the eastern city of Lahore, a senior official said Saturday. Supporters of the radical Islamist political party Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan, or TLP, want to march from Lahore to Islamabad to express their solidarity with Palestinians. But authorities said they don't have permission to demonstrate in the capital. Police have clashed with the party's supporters in Lahore since Friday, using tear gas and batons to disperse the crowds. People are throwing stones in retaliation."
"Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story."
The Independent emphasizes on-the-ground reporting across topics like reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech, avoids paywalls and solicits donations to fund journalists. Pakistani police arrested more than 100 people after clashes with Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) supporters who tried to march from Lahore to Islamabad in solidarity with Palestinians. Authorities said the march lacked permission in the capital and security forces used tear gas, batons, canisters and rubber bullets to prevent protesters breaching barricades. Protesters retaliated by throwing stones, seizing and damaging official vehicles, and burning one police vehicle. At least 112 police personnel were injured and others were reported missing as authorities continued arrests and investigations.
