This was not Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s first act of defiance against the military. Just days earlier, he asked the Supreme Court to appoint a three-judge special tribunal to investigate charges of treason against Pakistan’s former president, General Pervez Musharraf, for imposing emergency military rule and suspending the constitution in November 2007.
这已不是总理沙里夫（Nawaz Sharif）第一次挑战军方。几天前，他要求最高法院任命三名特别法官调查针对前总统穆沙拉夫的叛国指控。穆沙拉夫的罪名是在2007年11月采取紧急军事统治并中止宪法。
