Global day of action for troubled Pakistan

Lawyers, judges and journalists will present a petition to the High Commission of Pakistan in London today, as part of a global day of action to demand justice in the troubled country.

Amnesty International said the petition, addressed to General Pervez Musharraf, will demand full respect for freedom of expression in Pakistan, the release of all those arbitrarily detained under the State of Emergency, reinstatement of the independent judiciary, justice for the victims of enforced disappearance and no introduction of military tribunals for civilians.
