Pakistani students take to Web as well as streets demanding end to Musharraf's emergency rule

Angry over emergency rule, Pakistani students are starting to demonstrate against their military ruler. And they are using the Web as well as the street to make their point.

Samad Khurram said updating his online newsletter, the Emergency Telegraph, has practically become a full-time job. Offering advice on everything from avoiding arrest to staging ''flash'' rallies and organizing petitions, it is e-mailed to some 6,000 people.

With independent TV news off the air, the Emergency Telegraph also provides links to Web sites with streaming video, as well as media contacts, inspirational references to figures like Che Guevara and messages from detained human rights activists and judges.
