BREAKING: Mass arrests at rally for Geo/ARYOne

As many as 180 people have just been arrested at a Karachi rally at the Karachi Press Club organized by a journalists' union on behalf of Geo and ARYOne.

Update: All journalists were released by late Tuesday night. The crackdown was apparently triggered by the plan of the journalists to march to Governor House, which of course the authorities will never tolerate. (And I have fantasies of protesting outside military bases!)
