From the article:
Condemnation is pouring in from academics, civil society and politicians against disproportionate and heavy-handed action by Pakistani police against protesting university teachers, including beating them as they demonstrated this week in front of a provincial legislature.
University staff were protesting against government-imposed pay cuts due to the country’s economic crisis, exacerbated by COVID-19 related shutdowns.
