Pakistan Chief Justice Freed by New Premier


Moments after being confirmed as Pakistan's new prime minister, Yousaf Raza Gilani ordered that Chief Justice Iftikhar Chaudhry (pictured) be freed. Chaudhry had been under house arrest since November when President Musharraf had security forces carry him out of the Supreme Court while hearing a case about Musharraf's right to continue as president. Gilani also ordered the release of other deposed judges who had crossed Musharraf. The new Pakistani government has promised to reinstate roughly 60 judges removed by Musharraf.
