STORYLINE
Violence erupted in Lahore on Thursday as Pervez Musharraf embarked on a new five-year term as Pakistan's civilian president, a day after ceding the powerful post of army chief.
Street clashes broke out between riot police and lawyers protesting against Musharraf's inauguration.
About 200 demonstrators chanting "Go, Musharraf, go!" and "Friends of Musharraf are traitors!" threw bricks and stones at policemen who blocked their path as they tried to march from one court complex to another.
Four lawyers and three officers were injured, police said.
One injured lawyer, Malik Arshad, blood running down his face, told Associated Press Television he had been badly beaten by the police.
"We only demand rule of law," he said, before leading the crowd in chanting in Urdu.
Meanwhile, in a coffee shop in Lahore, Pakistanis watched Musharraf's inaugural address on television.
One Lahore resident said that Musharraf's resignation of his army post was "a good thing".
"This should have happened three or four years ago. Democracy is good and we should all work together for the benefit of the whole country," he added.
