Police Outside LUMS
There is police outside LUMS gates demanding arrests of some students. News coverage by DAWN is here.
When the LUMS faculty members were released, we started debating the apolitical role of LUMS; thinking that maybe now the LUMS protests will (or maybe should) die down. Earlier, in trying to get the faculty released LUMS students held non-violent protests inside the LUMS campus and sent iReports to CNN. Apparently, local police identified around 15 students (maybe from the videos) and are demanding their arrest by gathering outside the LUMS gates. There are rumors of local police calling help from other authorities (possibly rangers and the army). This is a provocative act by the local authorities and the situation could easily escalate beyond control.
