Re: Protests at returning troops Parade

There was a news report on TV last night from Pakistan. It was about a long Walk from Karachi to Islamabad. It seems that during the political unrest of the last couple of years, the then President(Pervez Musharraf) sacked all the senior judges.....and they want to be reinstated.

There was a large demonstration and in the crowd were 'plain clothes police'......demonstrators were hit with batons and bundled into vans and taken to Prison.......women too were treated in this manner.
So thje demonstrators in Luton want to realise that they have freedoms here that aren't shared with the people in their own countries......and women demonstrators and polictical activists are not tolerated at all.
