Photographer is shot in chest as hundreds of Charlie Hebdo protesters clash with police in Pakistan outside French embassy
The first pictures have emerged of a photographer bleeding from the chest after being shot in Pakistan as clashes between Charlie Hebdo protesters and police turned violent.
AFP photographer Adif Hasan was shot as some 200 protesters took to the streets outside the French consulate in Kuratchi after the magazine published an image of Prophet Muhammed in its 'survivor' edition. Hasan was believed to have been shot by protesters and although his condition was at first thought to be serious, he was now said to be recovering. Pakistani authorities used tear gas, batons and water cannons to disperse angry crowds who tried to force their way into the consulate. Police were also said to have fired warning shots in the air.
