Masliah & Soloway Joins Protest In Support of Pakistani Lawyers

The lawyers of Masliah and Soloway joined hundreds of their colleagues a public rally today in front of the New York Supreme Court at 60 Centre Street to express solidarity with our beleaguered colleagues at the Pakistani bar. In protesting Pakistan’s President Pervez Musharraf’s November 6, 2007 declaration of a state of emergency and his unilateral suspension of the country’s constitution, many Pakistani lawyers have been arrested, including the President of their Bar Association. The violent repression of lawyers anywhere cannot go unnoticed.
