Demonstrators in Pakistan disrupt German ambassador’s speech

FILE - Thousands of supporters take part in a rally to show solidarity with Palestinians in Islamabad, Pakistan, on Oct. 29, 2023. As he spoke about civil rights in Lahore on April 27, 2024, German Ambassador Alfred Grannas was interrupted by pro-Palestinian demonstrators.

Germany's ambassador to Pakistan faced backlash on social media Saturday for asking pro-Palestinian demonstrators to leave a human rights conference instead of “shouting” and interrupting his speech.
