Producer: Drakhshandae Badar. The lawyer’s movement of 2007 in Pakistan managed to revive a judiciary whose independence had been quashed by the military dictator General Pervez Musharraf and it fought to restore democracy in a country plagued by martial law for nearly a decade. But soon after it achieved its two main goals, the movement turned on its head becoming the source of unprecedented levels of unchecked power for the judiciary who now used this power to threaten a newly restored democratic government. So how did this great reversal come to be? This podcast traces the chronology of events that led to the movement itself and the events that led to its unravelling.
