The demonstration was called to protest against the Hudood Ordinances, which were introduced in 1979 by the then military dictator General Zia-ul Haq in an attempt to establish an Islamic system of justice in the country.

 A Pakistani man holds a framed picture of the sixth President of Pakistan, General Muhammad Zia Ul Haq, during a ceremony at the Wagah border near Lahore on October 25, 2010. The Wagha border is the only road border crossing between India and Pakistan. Every day a retreat ceremony takes place called 'the lowering of the flags' which has been held since 1959. The event is open to spectators who are able to view the spectacle from one side of either country's border. During the 45 minute ceremony Indian and Pakistani guards high-kick and stamp in a choreographed routine which ends in the lowering of both flags and the closing of the border gates.
