National Lawyers' Guild delegation to Pakistan

Haldane's sister organisation in the US, the National Lawyers' Guild, sent a delegation of lawyers and law students to Pakistan in early January, after the killing of Benazir Bhutto and before the elections. Their report calls for the immediate restoration of the independent judiciary. Noting the US' support for military dictatorship in Pakistan, it called upon the US government to promote the restoration of all the deposed judges, for an independent media and for free, fair and transparent elections.
