location: Abbottabad
notes: Tehreek-e-Sooba Hazara activists gathered at Fawara Chowk, alongside PPP, JI and JUI-F members, to protest against the renaming of NWFP. After the protesters refused to disperse, police used batons and tear gas to attempt to disperse the demonstrators, as well as allegedly firing directly on the crowd in self-defense after protesters attempted to storm police stations and vans, leading to 8 killed and over 100 injured.
