Pakistan's Bhutto demands to see sacked chief justice

ISLAMABAD (AFP) - Pakistan's former premier Benazir Bhutto went to the
house of the nation's ousted chief justice in a high-profile show of
support Saturday and demanded to see him, an AFP reporter witnessed.

"It is no crime to see him," she said over a megaphone to policemen
guarding the house of Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry in Islamabad. "He is
still the real chief justice of Pakistan."

Chaudhry was sacked when he refused to endorse an order imposing
emergency rule in Pakistan a week ago, and has been under effective
house arrest ever since.
