Reinstate Pakistan Judiciary

This petition was published by Arif Ullah Khan on Nov 18, 2007

We, the people and the friends of Pakistan, denounce and strongly protest against the imposition of Martial law in Pakistan, the attacks on independence of Judiciary, arrests of judges, lawyers, teachers, student, journalists and other members of civil society.

We also strongly protest against the curtailment of fundamental rights, the curbs on electronic and print media. Pakistan was formed as a democratic state where the rule of law will reign supreme. The people of Pakistan have given great sacrifices to gain these rights of living with freedom. These rights of free speech, ability to choose the government and access to fair judiciary cannot be taken away from the people at the disguise of any threat.

In order to end the current turmoil in Pakistan we Pakistani people demand:

1) Reinstate the Judiciary and bring it back to pre 3rd Nov state. (This is must otherwise we will never have an independent Judiciary and true democracy in Pakistan. All protests in Pakistan or outside Pakistan is for this cause)

2) Restore the Constitution of 1973 and End to Martial Law.

3) Release all the judges, lawyers, teachers, students, journalists, politicians and other members of civil society who have been arrested post 2nd Nov 2007.

4) Remove all censorship curbs on electronic and print media.
