Dear all,

The fight is going on. Police is sometime retreating and coming back to use
tear gas. The protesters are also determined to express their right to get
together.

Police is firing directly at the demonstrators. One casualty the Shahid
siddique, the newly elected president of Lahore High Bar Association.
Thousands of rounds of tear gas been fired at General Post Office Chouck.
Many has injured. Asma Jehanghir is also been effected badly.

The Labour Party Pakistan contingent arrive at GPO Chouck around one pm.
They include several women. Maqsood Mujahid, member national executive
committee LPP told me on phone that all of us have been effected but all of
us are on high spirit.

When they left the LPP office to go to the main place of demonstration, it
was clear to them that they are going to be arrested but they all wanted to
do that.

Mian Nawaz Sharif is on the way to Lahore after breaking all police
barriers, thousands are with him.

All the measures and strategies of police have been shattered by mass power.
They could not repeat what they could do in Karachi, Hyderabad and Multan
during the last three days.

It seems a total collapse of the state arrangements to stop the rally. The
whole city is coming to the streets. The police brutalities of the last few
days are coming to an end.

The PPP regime has no option but to accept the demands of restoration of
judges.

>From Islamabad, I got a call from Nisar Shah, general secretary LPP, he is
now been rounded  by the police after he made a successful escape being
arrested along with another comrade. He was with Javed Hashmi, a leader of
Muslim League , who is now been arrested.
He is hiding in a flat of unknown people who offered him to provide a
shelter.
