SHANGHAI -- Immediately after taking office last month, Pakistani Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani ordered the release of the 60 judges who had been detained by President Pervez Musharraf since November. This is a triumph for the rule of law in Pakistan, and above all a triumph for the brave Pakistani lawyers who took to the streets to protest Musharraf’s imposition of a state of emergency last autumn.
上海——上月就职后，巴基斯坦总理优素福·拉扎·吉拉尼立即下令释放去年11月被总统佩尔韦兹·穆沙拉夫扣押的60名法官。这是法制在巴基斯坦取得的一场胜利，更是去年秋天走上街头抗议穆沙拉夫强行宣布进入紧急状态的勇敢的巴基斯坦律师们的胜利。
