The Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP, radical Islamist) called for a march on 15 November in Rawalpindi « in honour of the Prophet Muhammad  » in the wake of anti-French demonstrations in the Muslim world following the republication of the Prophet cartoons by the Charlie Habdo newspaper and the French President Emmanuel Macron’s remarks on Islam (see our previous alerts).

Protesters will begin a march from 11:00 (local time) from Liaquat Bagh to Faizabad.

Increased security and disruptions are to be expected.
