On Saturday, November 3, President General Pervez Musharraf declared a state of emergency in Pakistan. You can view this proclamation on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs page. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs web site actually has a number of press releases on the media response and links to the various orders. The President's web site only has two brief press releases on this action. The Supreme Court of Pakistan has suspended its caseload this week due to this order.
