HeadlineMay 23, 2011

Thousands of people gathered in the Pakistani city of Karachi Sunday to protest ongoing U.S. drone strikes in Pakistan’s tribal region. The rally capped a two-day sit-in by the Movement for Justice, led by former cricket star Imram Khan, calling for an end to Pakistani military collaboration with the so-called “war on terror.” In addition to protesting the drone strikes, the demonstrators also called for the blocking of NATO supply routes through Pakistan.
