Last Updated: Tuesday, 20 November 2007, 12:27 GMT - BBC News
More than 100 journalists protesting against media restrictions and emergency rule have been arrested in Pakistan, eyewitnesses say.
Most were held in Karachi and several detained in Hyderabad.
Police baton-charged the Karachi journalists after they tried to stage a protest march. Some of them were hurt.
When President Pervez Musharraf imposed emergency rule on 3 November, radio and TV news was banned, as was criticism of the government.
