 ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (AP) - Pakistan police separated supporters and opponents of President Gen. Pervez Musharraf as the two sides held rival rallies in the capital Tuesday during a hearing on a top judge's contentious suspension.
Lawyers and opposition activists have organized several protests since Musharraf removed Supreme Court Chief Justice Iftikhar Mohammed Chaudhry on March 9, triggering a political crisis that is testing the president's hold on power.
The government insists it suspended Chaudhry only after receiving credible complaints that he had abused his office — for example, by using his position to seek a plum police job for his son.
