Pakistani Americans Stage Anti-Taliban Protest

WASHINGTON D.C.- The Pakistani American community braved the rain to come out in force and protest against the Taliban and perceived Pakistani government inaction and concessions to the Taliban.

The protest was staged in front of the Willard Intercontinental Hotel where Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari is staying during the trilateral talks being held in Washington D.C. between Pakistan, Afghanistan and the U.S.

Protesters held signs with slogans reading, "One Pakistan, One Constitution, One Judiciary," and "Education Not Talibanization."

The protest was organized at the grassroots community level and was not affiliated with any foreign or domestic organization or political party, including PAL-C.
