Thousands Rallyl Against Mushafraf
(Uh-oh...freedom's on the march again...)

http://www.cnn.com/2005/WORLD/asiapcf/03/20/pakistan.protest/index.html
LAHORE, Pakistan (CNN) -- Tens of thousands of people from all religious parties have staged a rally in Karachi against Pakistan's president, Gen. Pervez Musharraf, declaring him unacceptable because of his pro-American policies.

During Sunday's rally, Muthaida Majlis-e-Amal (MMA), an alliance of Islamic parties, called for a nationwide general strike on April 2 to protest rising unemployment and inflation, the promotion of secularism and the exclusion of religious affiliations on passports.
