PROTEST: Hundreds of lawyers, on the call of the Pakistan Bar Council and the Lahore High Court Bar Association, staged a rally to condemn the assassination of Benazir Bhutto and removal of Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry.
The protesting lawyers, led by District Bar Association President Sheikh Muhammad Usman and others, raised anti-government slogans.
The rally, which started from district courts and marched through the city, dispersed at the barroom peacefully. The protesters, wearing black armbands, hoisted black flags at the barroom and boycotted the courts.
