Pakistan Bar Council Observes Strike

Pakistan Bar Council

Pakistan Bar Council is observing a country wide strike today (Saturday) against killing of lawyers in Karachi. Yesterday, a lawyer, identified as Advocate Ghulam Haider was killed near Jehangir Road in a drive-by shooting in what appears to be a sectarian attack.

Haider, 45, was shot thrice in his head. His body was shifted to hospital for medico-legal formalities.

The deceased had been working as Additional Director at the office of federal ombudsman and was also a part-time lawyer.

It is reminded here that two doctors and one lawyer have been gunned down in Karachi this week in sectarian attacks.
