  • Between 3,000 to 5,000 protesters joined a procession organised by Hizbut Tahrir, which says it wants unification of all Muslim countries over time in a unitary Islamic state or caliphate. Police said many people were injured and several protesters were arrested during the violence which came after weekly prayers.
