Pakistan Outlaws TLP After Violent Protests Leave Five Dead

Trucks and containers block Ravi Bridge as supporters of Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) supporters march during a solidarity march for Gaza in Lahore, Pakistan, October 10, 2025.

Pakistan has once again banned the far-right Islamist party Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) under the country’s anti-terrorism laws, following deadly clashes with police during recent protests near Lahore.

The unrest erupted during a TLP-led march in support of Palestinians, which turned violent as demonstrators attempted to push toward Islamabad. At least five people, including a police officer, were killed, and more than 100 others were injured in the confrontations.

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s cabinet approved the ban after a recommendation from the Punjab provincial government, accusing the group of “terrorist and violent activities.” This marks the second time the TLP has been outlawed; a previous ban in 2021 was lifted after the party pledged to renounce violence.

The TLP, known for mobilizing large street protests, has repeatedly challenged the state with its hardline stance on religious issues. Analysts warn that while the ban may temporarily curb unrest, it underscores Pakistan’s ongoing struggle to contain extremist groups without sparking wider instability.
