Attorneys in Pakistan Continue to Rally for Independent Judiciary


Pakistani lawyers continue weekly rallies for the restoration of 63 judges removed last November by President Pervez Musharraf. Former Chief Justice Iftikhar Mohammad Chaudhry supported the lawyers efforts, despite being under house arrest. Chaudhry was first suspended last March, but reinstated by the high court. Then in November, Musharraf removed him again and placed him under house arrest. In Karachi, a dozen lawyers were arrested and more than 2o injured after police used tear-gas and batons to break up one of the rallies.
