  • The Pakistani Lawyers' Movement and the Popular
    NOTES THE PAKISTANI LAWYERS’ MOVEMENT AND THE POPULAR CURRENCY OF JUDICIAL POWER “I support the lawyers,” said the Pakistani farmer on the train from Lahore, “because if Musharraf can do whatever he wants to this man, the Chief Justice of Pakistan, then none of us is safe.”1 It was the summer of 2008, and for several months Pakistani lawyers had been leading protests seeking the restoration to office of sixty-plus superior court judges,2 including Chief Justice Iftikhar Mohammad Chaudhry, who had been suspended by President Pervez Musharraf.3 The farm- er’s response to questions about his thoughts on the protests was typi- cal of Pakistanis at the time in its clear-headed articulation of the symbolic importance of the lawyers’ struggle and in its implicit under- standing of the central function of an independent judiciary. Indeed, the Chief Justice was the closest to a personal embodiment of “the law” that one could find in Pakistan. If even he served at the pleasure of a dictator — so the story went —the capacity of the law to constrain this dictator and protect ordinary Pakistanis was perilously weak. In March 2007, Chaudhry refused the urging of five generals to re- sign and was removed by Musharraf. Two years later, with Musharraf in exile and a civilian government in power, nationwide protests re- turned Chaudhry to his position atop the nation’s highest court.4 Af- ter twenty-four months of struggle, the lawyers’ movement thus ended with an improbable victory. Moreover, in a nation where the courts historically have followed the dictates of the military and allowed for the repeated subversion of the country’s constitutions,5 the restoration ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– 1 Interview with Pakistani farmer, on train from Lahore, Pak.

  • Module: Basic Editing for Journalists
    Module: Basic Editing for Journalists 1 | P a g e Lesson 1 The Writing Process Whenever you write, consider your specific audience, that is, the people who will read what you have written. In addition, you should also consider the tone of your writing, which depends on your subject matter and on your audience. Your tone is your style or manner of expression and is revealed by your choice of words and grammatical structures and even the length of your sentences. The tone of a piece of writing can be, for example, serious, humorous, personal or impersonal. For both native speakers and new learners of English, it is important to note that writing is a process, not a product. This means that a piece of writing – whether a short report or an investigative piece, is never complete unless and until it is reviewed and revised till its fit for print. There are four main stages in the writing process: pre-writing, planning, writing and revising drafts and writing the final copy for publishing. Pre-writing Step 1: Choosing and narrowing a topic If you’re assigned a particular writing assignment, then of course, what you can write about is limited. On the other hand, when you’re given a free choice of topics and can write about something that interests you, then you must narrow the topic down to a particular aspect of that general subject. Suppose, for instance, you’re interested in the environment. It would be impossible to cover such a big topic in an 800-word piece for a section in a newspaper or on an e-zine.

  • Lawyers' Movement and Social Movement Theory: a Critical Analysis
    Pakistan Journal of Criminology Volume 8, No.1. Jan 2016, pp. 41-56 41 Lawyers’ movement and social movement theory: A critical Analysis Husnul Amin & Samina Rehmat Abstract This research concerns a critical analysis of the Lawyers‟ Movement (2007-2009) in Pakistan through the lens of a social movement theory (SMT). The Lawyers' Movement represents the joint struggle by the legal fraternity for the restoration of the deposed Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Pakistan by the then General/President Pervez Musharraf. The paper finds that as an unprecedented event in the political history of Pakistan, the lawyers‟ community was not only able to organize itself as a united pressure group, but also successfully mobilized public support from various sections of society. The study argues that within the constitutional provisions of freedom of expression, the legal fraternity amicably converted a purely legal-professional issue into an organized social movement. The deposed Chief Justice and other judges of the apex court were restored. Methodologically, this research analyses the lawyers‟ movement using a social movement theory approach. The study thus makes a humble methodological contribution, and further enriches our understanding of social movements in developing societies like Pakistan. Keywords: Lawyers Movement, Theory, Social Movement, Pakistan Introduction Individuals in the legal profession and their associations refused to accept the dictation of Gen Musharraf asking the CJ to resign. On 9 March 2007, the then President and Chief of Army Staff General Musharraf called on the Chief Justice of Supreme Court and asked him to resign. This was the starting point of the LM.

    http://www.geo.tv/asool GEO ASOOL A. GEO Manifesto (Our values, goals, and declared biases) WORKING DRAFT Version: 2.0 Dated: 14 August, 2012 DISCLAIMER This Code of Conduct mainly represents the aspirations and high standards that Geo management and Geo team wish to uphold professionally. Being an internal standard yardstick, this Code or any part of it, may never be used as a basis to pursue a claim against any company of Geo Group, any member of Geo management or any journalist working in Geo Group, if such claim is otherwise not maintainable under general provisions of law. Adoption of this Code of Conduct will neither increase nor decrease the legal obligations of Geo Group companies and members of Geo team under the laws of Pakistan. 1 PREAMBLE The media in Pakistan, after years of struggle, has emerged as a vibrant and powerful catalyst of change in society. The freedom which the media enjoys, however, is not unfettered and there are forces that contrive to erect hurdles in its path. The people of the country have reposed an enormous trust in the media and consider it to be a positive check on authoritarian tendencies in the government and other actors of the state. The media’s role in informing, educating and entertaining brings with it a huge responsibility. The social contract between the media and its consumers is sacrosanct and any breach in this contract will have serious repercussions. Over the years there have been many occasions for soul searching amongst media practitioners. As we stumbled in a field that was never leveled we searched for guiding principles that would ensure that our credibility was not damaged.
