The deposed chief justice of Pakistan has described President Musharraf as an "extremist general" for sacking him and 60 other top judges.
Iftikhar Mohammed Chaudhry also criticised the president for keeping him and his family under house arrest for the last three months.
Mr Chaudhry had a reputation for taking a firm line on government misdemeanours and human rights abuses.
He was sacked when President Musharraf imposed emergency rule in November.
His dismissal came as the court was preparing to rule on the validity of President Musharraf's re-election.
