巴基斯坦警察攻擊報道衝突的記者

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.巴基斯坦警方開始在首都伊斯蘭堡鎮壓報道反政府示威者和警方衝突的電視以及其它媒體的記者。

在伊斯蘭堡的一位美國之音記者說，巴基斯坦媒體的一些攝像人員星期天被打傷，一些記者受到警察的嚴厲毆打。

巴基斯坦政府一位與謝里夫總理關係密切的部長譴責對記者的打壓。巴基斯坦各地的媒體也發出譴責。

星期六暴力衝突發生之後，巴基斯坦軍隊總司令謝里夫召開高級軍事將領會議。

抗議者要求謝里夫辭職，指稱謝里夫獲勝的2013年5月大選存在大規模舞弊。

國際觀察人士說，那次選舉基本自由公正。
