2:40Now PlayingBeena Sarwar explains how Pakistan's chief justice took on Pervez Musharraf in a battle for democracy
Friday July 27th, 2007
The latest violence which followed today's re-opening of Islamabad's Red Mosque once again dramatizes the pressures facing Pakistan's President. Musharraf's western allies accuse him of not doing enough in the "war on terror" while at home he is under attack by religious militants and a growing pro- democracy movement. The latter scored a major victory last week when Pakistan's Supreme Court reinstated Chief Justice Iftikhar Chaudhry, who had been suspended last March. The suspension catalysed a mass movement led by lawyers, challenging the constitutionality of Musharraf's actions. Beena Sarwar reports on the dramatic confrontation between the President and the judge.
