Karachi and Malir bars of the Sindh Bar Council have called a three-day strike, starting today against the kidnapping of Sindh High Court’s Chief Justice Sajjad Ali Shah’s son, Owais Ali Shah and arrest of Ibrahim Abro.
Today, on the first day of the three-day strike, proceedings in City Court, Malir court and other subordinate courts are suspended.
Lawyers in Karachi had called a strike against Owais’s abduction last month as well.
Ibrahim Abro is a Karachi-based lawyer who was first believed to have been abducted but it came to light after that he was detained by police. He is accused of heading a three-member gang of dacoits who allegedly operate in Sindh and have been involved in looting several persons.
Owais was abducted last month after he exited a superstore in Clifton area. He had returned from London a few months back after completing his law degree.
