Pakistan: lawyers intimidate witnesses, observers at trial of Christian girl's accused killer

Members of the Lahore Bar Association, rallying around a powerful lawyer who has been charged with the torture and death of her young servant girl, have blocked entry to the courtroom, even refusing to let the slain girl's family watch the proceedings.
