The Karachi Bar Association has firmly prohibited the sale of Israeli products within the Sindh High Court (SHC) premises. As reported by ARY News on Saturday, the court’s canteen has been ordered to cease selling any goods from Israel, effective immediately.
The SHC Bar Association has emphasized the importance of adhering to this new rule, cautioning that failure to comply will lead to strict penalties. The Committee has outlined serious consequences for those who violate the ban.
This decision by the Bar Association illustrates its unwavering dedication to specific principles and values, reflecting its position on important international matters.
The decision by the Karachi Bar Association occurs against a backdrop of rising tensions and global condemnation due to recent events in Palestine. Israel’s military operations have caused significant loss of life among Palestinians, with Gaza’s health officials reporting over 34,305 casualties.
The continuing violence has wreaked havoc across Gaza, displacing a large number of people and depriving many of basic necessities like food, water, and medical assistance.

The ban on Israeli products at the Sindh High Court symbolizes solidarity with the Palestinian people and serves as a demand for justice and accountability in response to the continued violence and human rights violations.
