The following images (via Flickr) were taken by the student body at LUMS (Lahore University for Management Sciences) where students marked Iqbal day in a peace rally on-campus while calling for the imposition of the state of emergency also known as martial law, to be lifted in Pakistan. People’s faces have been blurred in these images after Pakistani security forces have begun using such pictures to identify students and arrest them which has been the practice since police arrested students at a peace rally at the university earlier this week. More pictures are available here:
