💨 Abstract

The Karachi Bar Association in Pakistan called a strike on February 4 in response to the transfer of three high court judges to the Islamabad High Court, leading to a suspension of legal proceedings at city courts. The strike was in solidarity with Islamabad-based bar associations and was labeled as a "blatant attack on judicial independence." The association demanded an immediate reversal of the transfer, warning that similar actions threatened the integrity of Pakistan's judicial system.
