RAWALPINDI
APP
Lawyers on Monday boycotted court proceedings across the Rawalpindi to express solidarity with the people of Palestine facing Israeli aggression.
Lawyers, wearing black armbands, observed a full-day strike on the call given by the Punjab Bar Council (PBC) and stayed away from court proceedings at all levels to express solidarity with Palestinians.
Lahore High Court (LHC) Rawalpindi Bench, Anti-Terrorism Courts, special courts, Rawalpindi Judicial Complex, local courts in Murree, Taxila, Kotli Sattian, Gujjar Khan, Kallar Syedan and banking courts gave a deserted look as no hearing took place.
Bar associations passed several resolutions condemning Israeli troops’ attack on unarmed Palestinians and stressed the international community to play their due role in defusing tension and liberating Palestinian territory from Israeli subjugation.
