Two senior Supreme Court judges resign in unprecedented protest.
Justice Syed Mansoor Ali Shah—who was set to become Pakistan's next Chief Justice before the 26th and 27th amendments—and Justice Athar Minallah have both resigned from the Supreme Court today, calling the 27th Constitutional Amendment a "grave assault" on judicial independence.
"The Constitution I swore to uphold and defend is no more," writes Justice Minallah.
