Lawyers chant anti-Musharraf slogans during a protest in Islamabad May 3, 2007. Several hundred lawyers and political activists rallied in Pakistan's capital on Thursday to support the country's top judge as he attended an inquiry into the government's misconduct charges against him. Pakistan has been gripped by a judicial crisis ever since President Pervez Musharraf suspended Chief Justice Iftikhar Chaudhry on March 9 and ordered a panel of judges to hold an inquiry against him.
