Police in Pakistan have detained hundreds of activists on the eve of an anti-government rally planned to welcome the country’s suspended top judge to Karachi, opposition leaders have said.
Authorities confirmed some arrests had been made ahead of Iftikhar Chaudhry’s visit to the volatile city on Saturday, but didn’t say how many.
The government’s suspension of Chaudhry on March 9 angered the judiciary and the opposition, and has blown up into the most serious challenge to the authority of General Prevez Musharraf’, the Pakistani president, since he seized power in 1999.
