Carson urges Pakistan to restore their judiciary system
Congressman Andre Carson (D-Ind.) delivers a statement today urging Pakistan to restore their judiciary system. “We were all awakened this morning to the disturbing news of activities taking place today in Pakistan. So us gathering here today is of significant importance. Because we gather not just to commemorate an event nor do we come here today to soley advocate for judicial reforms in Pakistan. Our activities today are bigger then any one event or cause. Because our cause for enhanced civil liberties in Pakistan are wrapped in a universal moment that collectively calls for increased freedoms and basic human rights everywhere.” (0:51)
