Lawyers Clash Violently With Police

Our hearings generally don’t get this interesting or contentious:

HUNDREDS of Pakistani lawyers in business suits hurled stones at police after officers fired tear gas to disrupt a meeting at Lahore’s High Court to protest moves to sack the country’s top judge. … Today’s unrest began when police fired tear gas outside the court and hit out with batons to stop a group of lawyers getting to the meeting, witnesses said. Suited lawyers poured out of the meeting and hurled stones at police who threw them back. Police chasing stone-throwers ransacked nearby offices.
