INTRO: Musharraf critic freed from prison after court order. An opposition leader in Pakistan, sentenced to life in jail for defaming the army, is released on bail by Pakistan's Supreme Court.



STORY: A leader of the opposition Pakistan Muslim League(巴基斯坦穆斯林聯盟), which is headed by former Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif(納瓦茲‧謝里夫), has been released from jail.

Makhdoom Javed Hashmi(馬克頓‧爪哇德‧哈席米), who was found guilty of defaming the army, was freed on bail by the Supreme Court on Saturday (August 4). It's another setback to embattled President General Pervez Musharraf(佩爾韋茲·穆沙拉夫). 

The decision to release Hashmi, de facto leader of the opposition Pakistan Muslim League, came a day after Sharif petitioned the court seeking his return to the country. 

Hundreds of cheering activists and supporters of the Muslim League greeted Hashmi as he emerged from prison in the eastern city of Lahore. They chanted "Go Musharraf ".

Hashmi, one of Musharraf's most outspoken critics, was arrested in 2003 for circulating an unsigned letter to reporters purporting to come from the army. The letter criticised Musharraf's support for the U.S.-led war on terror and called for an investigation into the 1999 Kargil conflict when Pakistan and India fought a limited war in the disputed region of Kashmir. Musharraf headed the army at the time of the conflict.

On Wednesday Hashmi's leader, former prime minister Sharif, petitioned the court seeking an order to stop the government from obstructing his return to the country after seven years of exile. Musharraf overthrew Sharif in 1999 and sent him and his family into exile in Saudi Arabia in 2000 in an apparent deal brokered by the Saudi royal family.

【主播】原先因誹謗軍隊案，而被判終生監禁的巴基斯坦穆斯林聯盟(Pakistan Muslim League)領導人之一的馬克頓‧爪哇德‧哈席米(Makhdoom Javed Hashmi)，於星期六(8月4日)接到最高法院裁定，准予交保獲釋。


【配音】反對派的巴基斯坦穆斯林聯盟，是由巴國前總理納瓦茲‧謝里夫(Nawaz Sharif)所領導。現任總統佩爾韋茲‧穆沙拉夫於1999年推翻謝里夫政權，並在2000年時，將謝里夫與他的家人全都流放到沙烏地阿拉伯(Saudi Arabia)。

就在流亡海外長達七年的謝里夫，於星期三向法院聲請准許他回國後的隔天，最高法院又讓向來批評穆沙拉夫不餘遺力的哈席米重獲自由，這對穆沙拉夫(Pervez Musharraf)而言，無疑又是一次挫敗。

哈席米於2003年時，因向媒體紕漏一封未署名的信件，並指稱來自軍隊，而遭到逮捕。這封信的內容，除批評穆沙拉夫支持美國，導致巴國有招受恐怖份子攻擊之虞外，並要求對1999年，巴印兩國在克什米爾(Kashmir)地區，穆沙拉夫命令軍隊與印度於卡吉爾(Kargil)發生衝突一事，展開調查。

當哈席米離開位於東部城市拉合爾(Lahore)的監獄時，數百位支持群眾到場為他歡呼，並高喊「穆沙拉夫滾開」。
