Islamabad, Pakistan – Protesters belonging to Pakistan’s far-right Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) group have released 11 police officers abducted during violent clashes in the eastern city of Lahore, the country’s interior minister says, as negotiations remain ongoing.
Interior Minister Sheikh Rasheed, speaking in a video message issued early on Monday, said “a lot of progress” had been made in the first round of negotiations.
“They have released the 11 policemen they had abducted and the people of the TLP have gone into the Rehmat ul Alimeen mosque and police have also moved back,” Rasheed said.
Several policemen and protesters were wounded in clashes on Sunday, which began after TLP activists attacked a police station in the Sodhiwal area of Pakistan’s second city Lahore, police spokesperson Nayab Haider told Al Jazeera.

A new £1.3m scanner will scan up to 20 people per day for cancer, boosting provision in Norwich and the surrounding areas.
The CT scanner, installed at the city s Spire hospital will also be able to look for neurological, stomach and kidney problems.
And as Spire is currently supporting the National Health Service with its response to the Covid-19 pandemic, it is hoped the new equipment will alleviate pressure on waiting lists, reducing the amount of time both NHS and private patients wait for a scan.
