Pakistani Prime Minister Yusuf Raza Gilani waves to supporters as he leaves the Supreme Court in Islamabad after being convicted of contempt of court for failing to reopen corruption cases against the president, April 26. The court gave him only a symbolic sentence of a few minutes' detention in the courtroom. It was unclear if the token sentence would ease political tension in Pakistan, where the president and prime minister have jousted with the military and judiciary over the past year. |
