Opposition parties said police had detained hundreds of activists to prevent them from attending a rally in Lahore on May 5.


Iftikhar Mohammad Chaudhry is expected in Lahore to denounce what he says is an attempt by President Pervez Musharraf to sack him.


Chaudhry was suspended in March for alleged abuse of office.


Supporters say it is an attack on the judiciary.
