Pakistan's Bar Council called the countrywide boycott of the courts for a week.
ISLAMABAD (Web Desk) - Lawyers on Friday continued their strike to protest against terrorist attack on a local court in Islamabad, Dunya News reported.
At least 12 people including a judge and five lawyers were killed in a violent attack on a district court in Islamabad's F-8 sector on Monday.
During the strike, the courts are holding proceedings only on remand requests.
Various high profile cases, including the judges detention case against former President General Pervez Musharraf could not be heard, as a result of judges joining the strike.
