A group of judges in Pakistan wrote a letter to a judicial council, accusing intelligence agencies of interfering in their cases.
The judges said that intelligence officials were trying to pressure them into making certain decisions.
The judges said that intelligence officials had abducted a relative of one of the judges and tortured him. They also said that intelligence officials had installed hidden cameras in the homes of some of the judges.
The judges said that they were worried that they would not be able to do their jobs without fear of intimidation. They asked the judicial council to investigate the allegations and to take steps to protect the independence of the judiciary.
The judge’s letter is a serious accusation against the intelligence agencies in Pakistan. If the allegations are true, it would mean that the intelligence agencies are interfering in the judicial process. This could hurt the rule of law in Pakistan.
The judicial council has not yet commented on the judges’ letter. It is not clear what action the council will take.
