Pakistan protests called off

Monday, 27 November 2017 16:00

Pakistani Islamists have called off protests across the country following the resignation of Law Minister Zahid Hamid.

Protesters in Islamabad blocked an interchange over a fortnight ago over the change of wording in an electoral oath. Although it was promptly changed back the protesters demanded the resignation of Hamid, whom they accused of blasphemy.

Further protests spread to other cities, including Lahore and Karachi over the weekend.

At least six people are believed to have been killed during clashes and around 200 were injured.
