BBA President Speaks Out on Human Rights Crisis in Pakistan Boston Bar Association President Tony Doniger earlier this week issued the following statement: "The imposition of martial law in Pakistan is a painful reminder of the fragility of the rule of law. The detention of 8 members of the Pakistan Supreme Court , and the arrest of over 1500 Pakistani lawyers is a deplorable affront to a previously independent and vigilant legal system. The Boston Bar Association joins in the call of the American Bar Association and others for the immediate restoration of the Pakistani legal system. These events should remind lawyers everywhere that the rule of law can never be taken for granted." |
