Over 500 lawyers and opposition leaders across the country are locked up. Imran Khan was arrested but escaped and is now in hiding. He said Musharraf had to move against the Supreme Court as they were going to rule that his Presidency was invalid.

Musharruf has shut down all independent media, only the govt. one is operating so news is limited.

The people will fight with all their might. A lawyer who is hiding from police said there will be a show -down between the people, and Musharruf.
Benazeer Bhutto is calling all her supporters on to the streets for a rally to-morrow. The military and the police will not win this one.

[Von Curtis]

According to SBS news the Bush administration gave the Musharruf govt. 10 billion dollars to fight the " War on Terror" , no wonder they think they are invincible.
Maybe they should use some of money to go to the South Pole or into space to escape execution!

I know some have suggested it could be a dry run for bringing in a police state in the USA - I hope not.
I have read that a lot of people in Pakistan are reluctant to protest because if the shooting starts and the breadwinner gets hurt or killed the family starves as a lot of them are living on less than a dollar a day.
On US news hour this afternoon I saw the Pakastani ambassador( a former general) to the US say that the Supreme court judges overstepped their mark and had to be removed and other judges have replaced them. They will endorse President Musharraf's emergency rule.
He said Musharraf and George W Bush are very good friend's so the US govt. will support them as they are helping fight the 'war on terror'he said with a big grin. The US lady interviewing him looked very uncomfortable.
Imran Khan is very brave and surely I hope they will succeed in rescuing their country.

Bush won't critizise Musharruf and says people should be satisfied that Musharruf has said there will be democratic elections next February and he will take off his uniform. Bush must be worried that people will make a connection soon between the Pakastani military and intelligence and Al-Queda ( which I have read means "the toilet " in Arab slang)

A very interesting read on 911blogger is Osama Bin Laden had a Pakastani ISI ( Inter Services Intelligence ) Handling Officer.
The comments too help to shed some light on this very tangled web!!

[Von Curtis]

Today I heard on the ABC news that a Supreme Court judge in Sydney in a case against a moslem man charged with terrorism had all the evidence from ASIO thrown out as it was totally grossly unlawful.
It does seem that all the intelligence services , CIA, MI5,6, ASIO. Pakastani ISI , Mossad and others across Europe are run by criminals who work together.
Ruddock just then defended ASIO on PM

Imran Khan just said on SBS news that it will be a very strange election with all the opposition leaders, judges and supporters locked up.
Benazeer Bhutto is again under house arrest to stop her march from Lahore to Islamabad.
At a meeting in London the Commonwealth Ministerial Action Group has given Musharruf 10 days to restore the independence of the judiciary, stop private media control, release all political prisioners, and allow for free and fair elections or be suspended from the Commonwealth.
I wonder if the Ministers of the Commonwealth hope they can set Musharruf and the generals adrift and quickly cover-up any 911 connection.
As stated on 911blogger the head of ISI, Pakistan's chiel spy Lt. General Mahmoud Ahmad was in the US when the 911 attacks occurred. He arrived on the 4th Sept. and had meetings with all kinds of high level US Govt officials such as Richard Armitage and Senator Joe Biden. His meetings at the State Dept. were only made public after the 911 attacks when the Bush administration took the descision to formally seek the co-operation of Pakistan in its war on terror.
I wonder if John Howard was meeting with the same people at that time?

Imran charged under anti-terrorism act
Thursday Nov 15 00:05 AEDT

AP - Cricket legend Imran Khan was arrested in Lahore after he showed up at a student rally and was charged under Pakistan's anti-terrorism laws, police said.

His arrest effectively silences the last outspoken critic of General Pervez Musharraf who had not been in detention or exile.

He was charged under Pakistan's Anti-Terrorism Act, which includes penalties that can carry the death sentence or life imprisonment.


Khan, who has been in hiding since escaping from house arrest a day after emergency rule was declared, surfaced at the student demonstration in Lahore and was promptly detained by hard-line students and handed over to police, authorities said.


Senior police official Aftab Cheema told The Associated Press that Khan is being held at an undisclosed location and will be charged under the Anti-Terrorism Act. He gave no details of specific charges, but said Khan was disturbing the peace.

"He created a law and order situation at the educational institution and caused a disruption in educational activities," Cheema told AP.

Khan, who leads a small but outspoken opposition party, had given a series of media interviews at secret locations in Lahore before deciding to join the students protesting at the University of Punjab.

The US must have been hoping that Murrsharruf would have quietly handed power over to Bhutto and kept the "war on terror" going but that plan has fallen apart and Bhutto is now talking to supporters of former prime minister Nawaz Sharrif who was exiled a few months ago and also to Imran Khan before he was put in jail. The Islamic Party in the North is also gaining strength.
The US has three air bases in Pakistan which they were going to use to attack Iran originally, they are now worried about Pakistan's nuclear arsenal. They have largely created this mess by propping up a dictator.

[Von Curtis]

Imran Khan has gone on a hunger strike in one of Islamabad's harshest jails until emergency rule is lifted and the judges who were sacked from the Supreme Court are returned.
( People suffer when they use non-violent methods against tyrants but it does seem to be the only way that eventually wins out for justice for ordinary people who are willing to give up their life for others.)
