Two Pakistani opposition leaders were jailed by the military government after their 11-party alliance announced plans to meet Tuesday in defiance of a government ban, opposition sources said. Nawabzada Nasrullah Khan, head of the rightist Pakistan Democratic Party, was sentenced to three months in jail, the sources said. Malik Mohammed Qasim, a leader of the Movement for the Restoration of Democracy alliance, reportedly was placed under house arrest for three months. The government forbade the alliance to meet after the group announced plans to boycott elections scheduled for February.
