Pakistan opposition leader Nawaz Sharif has defied an apparent house arrest order to join a protest in Lahore.

Describing the order - denied by the government - as "illegal" he left his Lahore house urging people to join him.

"The time has come to march hand in hand," Mr Sharif said after describing Pakistan as a "police state".

Police fired tear gas at the protesters who are planning to march to Islamabad to demand the reinstatement of judges sacked by the former government.
