Law Society heads for Pakistan crisis meeting

The Law Society is set to meet Pakistan’s High Commissioner to call for the release of lawyers and judges imprisoned in the country. Representatives from the Bar Council and the Association of Muslim Lawyers will also be present at the meeting next week. The three organisations are leading calls for the Pakistani government to reinstate members of the legal community jailed in the recent constitutional crisis. The Law Society had asked for a meeting with President Musharraf, who is visiting London next week, but was told he was unavailable.
