Ali Ahmad Kurd (Template:Lang-ur), is a Pakistani lawyer who has served as President of the Supreme Court Bar Association of Pakistan and is prominent in the Lawyers' Movement in that country. He opposed the military regime of General Pervez Musharraf.
Arrest
Kurd was arrested on 29 April 2007 in Quetta on the charges of inciting people during an absentia funeral of Nawab Akbar Bugti a year earlier. He was released after protests from lawyers.
After imposing martial law in Pakistan on 3 November 2007, Musharraf again ordered the arrest of Kurd. He was released on 4 March 2008.
