Thousands take part in anti-France rally in Pakistan

Description

Around 10,000 people marched through Karachi, Pakistan's biggest city, after Friday prayers in what was organised as a procession to mark the Prophet's birthday, but which was charged with anti-France anger. French President Emmanuel Macron has vowed to take the fight to religious radicals after the October 16 beheading of a history teacher by an extremist for having shown pupils cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed during a lesson on free speech.
