Hundreds of lawyers in capital Islamabad of Pakistan broke the main gate of the highly secure diplomatic enclave and attempted to reach the U.S. embassy to protest against the American filmmaker's sacrilegious movie about the Muslim prophet on Wednesday, local police said.

The protestors chanted slogans and set U.S. flags on fire outside the diplomatic enclave. They burnt dummies of the U.S. filmmaker and demanded government to end diplomatic ties with U.S. until it announces death sentence for the filmmaker.

Police stopped the protestors after they entered into the diplomatic enclave.

It was the second attempt of the protestors to reach U.S. embassy in Islamabad. Earlier on Friday, hundreds of demonstrators tried to march towards the U.S. Embassy in Islamabad but police kept them hundreds of meters away from main gate of the diplomatic enclave.

The violent protests against anti-Islamic movie broke out last week in various areas of the country. In the week-long demonstrations at least two people were killed and dozens others were injured during the clashes between police and protestors.

On Sunday afternoon, thousands of protestors in southern port city of Karachi marched toward the U.S. consulate. They climbed up the walls of the consulate and removed the U.S. flag. The protestors had a serious clash with police and rangers in which one protester was killed and a dozen others were injured.

On Monday, a large number of protestors held demonstrations outside U.S. consulate in eastern city of Lahore. They set U.S. flags on fire and demanded death penalty for the U.S. filmmaker.

Hundreds of protestors marched towards the American consulate in Peshawar and pelted stones at the consulate building.

Following the protests in the country, U.S. consulate suspended its work across the country.
