Pakistan police hold four opposition leaders

Pakistani police detained four key opposition figures on Saturday to prevent further protests against President Pervez Musharraf's re-election, police and party officials told AFP.The men support an alliance of pro-democracy parties which has vowed to hold demonstrations against Musharraf's intention to stand for another five-year term in the October 6 polls."These are preventative detentions for the maintenance of public order," a senior police official said on condition of anonymity.One of the men was Javed Hashmi, a leader of exiled former premier Nawaz Sharif's Pakistan Muslim League, who was freed by the Supreme Court in July after serving three years in jail on sedition charges, he said.The others were Raja Zafur Hafiz Hussain Ahmed and Mia Aslam, both from a coalition of radical Islamic parties, and Raja Zafar ul-Haq, who is from Sharif's movement, the official added."We have detained these people to prevent the holding of a protest rally in front of the Supreme Court, which would invite trouble because of the prevailing security threat," he said."More arrests are likely."Sharif's party condemned the detentions, which follow a series of rallies in several cities across Pakistan against Musharraf's re-election."The police raided their homes, whisked them away and took them to an unknown place," Ahsan Iqbal, a spokesman for Sharif's party, told AFP."This is a blatant violation of their fundamental rights."
