I know, it's Pakistan. But, the news is relevant nonetheless. Our justice system should learn some lesson from this; nobody..nobody should be above the law. I don't know how much far this ruling will go, but coming from a Supreme Court, it is pretty significant.

SLAMABAD (Reuters) - Pakistan's Supreme Court has ordered the arrest of the prime minister in connection with a corruption case linked to power projects, television channels reported, plunging the country into fresh political turmoil.
The surprise move came as a populist cleric, who is believed to be backed by the military, demanded the resignation of the government in protests attended by thousands of followers in the heart of the capital Islamabad.
