Pakistan probes fake degrees

巴徹查160議員學歷造假

Scores of Pakistani lawmakers could lose their seats from a probe into claims some have lied about their academic qualifications, AP reported Wednesday. The investigation on nearly all of some 1,100 lawmakers was launched by a Supreme Court order after up to 160 parliamentarians were allegedly found to possess fake degrees. If enough lawmakers are found ineligible, there are rumblings that a midterm election may be needed.

據美聯社6月30日報道，數十名巴基斯坦議員可能由于虛報學歷，議席不保。由于有多達160名議員被指虛報學歷，巴最高法院日前下令，對全國約1100名議員展開調查。如果虛報學歷者太多，則有可能提前舉行中期選舉。
