while it seems years ago it was just last month that president pervez musharaf declared a "state of emergency" in pakistan and suspended much of the constitution...within hours, authorities arrested hundreds of lawyers, human rights activists, and other perceived opponents of president pervez musharaf's government under provisions allowing detention without charge or trial...courts were expressly prohibited from issuing any order against the president, prime minister or any person exercising powers under their authority...
authorities of the state have targeted and imprisoned human rights activists, placed heavy restrictions on the media, and met peaceful demonstrations with violence...with the rule of law weakened, the human rights of pakistan’s 161 million residents are in peril...
you can urge president bush to publicly call for the release and reinstatement of the justices of the pakistani supreme court!
peace out <3
