There was to be a court ruling this Tuesday in Pakistan ruling whether or not that the present President General Musharraf, could be both the commander in Chief of the Pakistani armed forces, as his now, as well as the head of state of the civilian government.

Instead of waiting for the ruling, General Mussarraf has in effect declared martial law, especially against the High Court, claiming they are hindering the fight against terrorists.

All independent media channels have been forcibly taken off the air. Paramilitary forces have surrounded the Supreme Court building in the capital. ...

According to the reports, eight-member bench of the Supreme Court has already declared the PCO and the proclamation of emergency to be unconstitutional. The Supreme Court and High Court judges are being asked to take a new oath under the PCO. The Chief Justice and a majority of Supreme Court and High Court judges have not been invited to take the oath, meaning thereby that the Chief Justice of Pakistan has been sacked for the second time this year.....

It must be realized that political leaders and activist lawyers are already being arrested all over the country. Fundamental freedoms have been suspended and the rights of the protesters shall in all likelihood be viciously trampled upon.


Unless your friend is Imran Khan, or in with any of the opposition parties, or in with any of the protest movements, or attends a protest, he should be alright.

I vote that this is moved over to the Asylum since it is about a foreign country.




















And not at all because I want to see the thread destroyed and turned into an unrecognizeable mess of fur and blood.
