Judicial Crises in Pakistan

US watching Pakistan protests: Gates
WASHINGTON, March 23: The United States is closely watching a political challenge to President Gen Pervez Musharraf over his suspension of Chief Justice Iftikhar Moham-mad Chaudhry, US Defence Secretary Robert Gates said on Thursday.

Gates said he had been told that formal charges would be brought later against Justice Chaudhry.

“We are clearly watching the situation in Pakistan,” Gates told reporters, adding: “We’ll just have to see what those charges are.”
