A lawyer is arrested in Karachi yesterday at a protest demanding the reinstatement of the former chief justice

Clashes broke out between police and protesters in Pakistan yesterday as authorities extended their clampdown on demonstrators seeking to march to the capital.

In a move that highlighted the government's determination to prevent thousands of lawyers and political opponents from gathering in Islamabad, police in Karachi detained a number of senior figures. Having initially allowed several hundred lawyers to begin their march from the centre of the city, they then prevented them from entering the main highway.

Earlier, outside the city's high court, police clashed with lawyers and members of the Islamist Jamaat-e-Islami party, which has backed the campaign. Police and paramilitaries used batons to break up a crowd of protesters.
