Protests over video of Afghan man being stripped
Protests erupted in Pakistan's Peshawar on Friday against police brutality, days after a video surfaced on social media showing Khyber Pakhtunkhwa police abusing and stripping an Afghan national naked while filming the ordeal.
Demonstrators gathered outside Tehkal Police Station and shouted slogans against officials on Friday, according to a report. They also pelted stones and caused damage to CCTV cameras in the vicinity and set a motorcycle alight.
This was the second day for the protests against the police. Speaking to Dawn.com, SP Saddar Circle AS Khalid said that the situation was brought under control shortly after protesters gathered. "Some youngsters were trying to disturb law and order," he said.

Protestors also gathered outside the provincial assembly's building and staged a demonstration against police torture. In order to disperse the protesters, officials used tear gas. man
