LAHORE: Pakistani police have issued a seven-day detention order for former premier Benazir Bhutto to stop her leading a mass procession against emergency rule, officials said.
"We tried to serve her with a seven-day detention order," senior Lahore police official Aftab Cheema told AFP.
"However she was not available to take it," he added.
The order says she must remain at the home of a senior party member in Lahore, where she is staying ahead of a planned march to the capital Islamabad later in the day.
Around 150 police have cordoned off the house, an AFP reporter saw.
