ISLAMABAD, April 26 (Reuters) – Pakistan’s Supreme Court on
Thursday found Prime Minister Yusuf Raza Gilani guilty of
contempt of court for refusing to reopen corruption cases
against the president, but gave him only a symbolic sentence of
a few minutes’ detention in the courtroom.
“For reasons to be recorded later, the prime minister is
found guilty of contempt for wilfully flouting the direction of
the Supreme Court,” said Justice Nasir-ul-Mulk.
