New Pakistani PM Yusuf Raza Gillani has said he will order the release of all judges detained under emergency rule, minutes after being elected by MPs. President Pervez Musharraf in November sacked dozens of judges as the Supreme Court was set to rul...e on whether his re-election was legal. Former chief justice Iftikhar Chaudhry was among those still held. Mr Gillani's Pakistan People's Party heads a government for the first time in 12 years after February's elections. It will lead a coalition that has a substantial majority.
