A supporter of former President Pervez Musharraf, head of the All Pakistan Muslim League (APML) political party, uses a megaphone as he chants slogans along with others (unseen) during a protest demanding a fair trial for him in Karachi March 30, 2014. Musharraf is facing treason charges in a special court in Islamabad. The charges relate to his imposition of a state of emergency in 2007, when he was manoeuvring to extend his rule in the face of growing opposition from the public and the judiciary.

A policeman stands guard during a vaccination campaign in Peshawar, the capital of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province March 30, 2014. Pakistan's volatile northwestern city of Peshawar is the largest reservoir of endemic polio viruses in the world, the World Health Organization said early this year, amid concerns over continuing violence against polio vaccination teams. In Pakistan, Taliban commanders have forbidden vaccination teams access in some areas. A handful of religious leaders have also denounced the campaign as a plot to sterilize Muslim children. The rhetoric has fueled violence against the vaccination teams. Many teams travel only with police protection. Last year there were more than 30 attacks on polio teams.
