Just talked to Riaz and other International Socialists comrades. They are inside Lahore High Court. with Samina Noman, Noman Qadir, Salahuddin, Salam (LPP). They said that the atmosphere is absolutely electric. Police have fired tear gas shells INSIDE the Lahore High Court as well. And every now and then lawyers and political workers go outside the court and pelt the police with stones. This exchange has been going on for more than 3 hours now. But the lawyers/civil society people there are not backing down an inch. International Socialists comrades Rasheed and Bangash are also inside the Lahore High Court.
Salahuddin has taken a lot of tear-gas but he is okay.
Every now and then an injured person comes inside the court, but then more people go outside and pelt the police in anger.
Huge number of people are in and around Lahore high court. Waiting for Nawaz sharif to arrive.
Burhan.
International Socialists.
