巴基斯坦警察攻击报道冲突的记者

Pakistani police have attacked television crews and other journalists covering clashes between anti-government protesters and police in Islamabad.

A VOA correspondent in Pakistan's capital says several cameramen with Pakistani news organizations have been wounded and reporters have been severely beaten by police.

A minister close to Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has condemned the attacks on journalists, as have news organizations across the country.

Pakistan's military chief, General Raheel Sharif, has called a Sunday meeting of his corps commanders in the wake of the continued violence.

The protesters are demanding Sharif resign, alleging massive fraud in the May 2013 election that brought Sharif to power.

 International observers have said the vote was largely free and fair.
