Asia Society is arranging a special Emergency Town Hall Meeting on the Crisis in Pakistan to take place at the Society’s New York Headquarters, Thursday 11/8 at 8:30 am eastern. The speakers include Robert Templer of the International Crisis Group, Saeed Shafqat of the Centre for Public policy and Governance, and Daniel Markey of the Council on Foreign Relations all of whom recently returned from Pakistan. By teleconference we will have Asma Jahangir, Chairperson, Human Rights Commission of Pakistan and Advocate, Supreme Court of Pakistan; Awaz Amir, columnist with DAWN; and Pakistani lawyer Zahid Jamil. Najam Sethi, chief editor of The Friday Times will hopefully join as well.
