• Pakistani lawyers condemn the 26th and 27th constitutional amendments, citing expanded powers for Army Chief Asim Munir and an "assault on democracy, rule of law, and the judiciary."
• The 27th amendment grants the army chief sweeping authority over military branches and lifelong immunity from prosecution for him and the President.
• Lawyers rejected the proposed Federal Constitutional Court as "unconstitutional" and criticized the ISPR DG's press briefing for targeting political leaders.
• The convention demanded the immediate release of detained political leaders, including Imran Khan, and the recovery of missing persons.
• The resolution called for biometric verification in future bar council elections and condemned the Punjab Protection of Property Ordinance 2025.
