Hi there,

It is the job of the press to cover power, not cover for power—to hold those in power accountable by documenting what's happening on the ground and amplifying voices at the grassroots. In this critical moment, as attacks on the media escalate, we must continue to cover crackdowns on dissent, immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community, public health and academic freedom. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Benazir Bhutto to Lead 185-Mile Protest Caravan

HeadlineNov 12, 2007

Opposition leader Benazir Bhutto announced earlier today that she has ended negotiations with Musharraf on a power-sharing agreement. On Tuesday, Bhutto plans to lead a 185-mile protest caravan from Lahore to Islamabad. On Friday, she spoke to reporters while she was under temporary house arrest.

Benazir Bhutto: “This is not a battle for Benazir Bhutto. This is not a battle for the Pakistan People’s Party. This is a battle to save Pakistan, to save Pakistan from the forces of extremism.”
