Islamabad: The Supreme Court of Pakistan on Tuesday formed a judicial commission to probe Lal Masjid Operation.
A three-member bench of the apex headed by Chief Justice Iftikhar Mohammad Chaudhry resumed the hearing the petitions pertaining to Lal Masjid operation.
During the hearing, the apex court formed a judicial commission headed by Justice Shehzado Sheikh, a senior judge of a religious court, to investigate the operation. The court said that the commission would also investigate the exact number of deaths in the operation.
The Lal Masjid standoff started when female students of its Jamia Hafsa occupied the adjacent children’s library on January 22, 2007, to protest against the razing of seven mosques in the capital city.
