The protesters gathered in the capital city on September 28 for commemorating International Safe Abortion Day.

The police officers in return sprayed fumes of tear gas at the protesters who were throwing hammers and bottles and paint. One police officer was injured in the fire after being attacked by Molotov cocktail, following which the other officers settled the fire with the extinguishers.
