Pakistani group on Supreme Court crisis

Published Mar 25, 2007 8:56 PM

The Pakistanis United Freedom Forum (PUFF) issued the following statement on March 16 before heading to the anti-war demonstration at the Pentagon when the news arrived that Pakistani officials had attacked journalists from the private TV station Geo and beat the lawyers who were demanding the release of Pakistani Chief Justice Iftikhar Mohammad Chaudhry:

1.  General Musharraf must resign.

2. All Western powers—especially USA—stay away from this crisis. It is a Pakistani internal matter.

3. All political parties announce that they will not accept any army general or Western-imposed person except through the Pakistani constitutional process.

4. All political parties who are aligned with army junta must immediately resign and join those forces who are fighting for the constitution—journalists, lawyers, political workers, human rights workers and students. If they do not, PUFF and Pakistanis abroad demand that the political parties and the people of Pakistan remember their vulture character.

5. PUFF demands an end to all military exercises with American and Western forces because in present situation it will effect good relations with our brother country Iran.

6. PUFF demands that in this situation when the country is at a turning point, the self-exiled politicians (in Dubai, London, USA) announce their unconditional return to the country and announce that they will not run for any high office, but rather they will support the people who have been fighting on the street for years against the Musharraf regime and the U.S. imposed policies.
