PPP workers arrested in Sindh

Approximately 2000 PPP workers have been arrested across Sindh, in connection with protests held across the province today. PPP workers were protesting the house arrest of Benazir as well as the mass arrests of PPP workers in Punjab on Thursday and Friday.

Meanwhile, Benazir continues the enjoy the good life. A New York Times article notes today that on Friday, Benazir moved seamlessly from playing the martyr in her attempt to hold the public rally in Pindi, to an upscale and glamorous evening dinner with diplomats at Parliament House in Islamabad. It's nice to know that her social life isn't being affected by all this yucky protesting stuff.
