Chaudhry’s suspension the previous March, following his refusal to bow to government pressure to resign, had incited relentless protests by Pakistan’s legal community and made him a symbol of the people’s desire for a fairer, more independent judicial system. In a sense, this movement, which contributed to Musharraf’s electoral defeat the following February and the return of democracy to Pakistan, prefigured the 2010-2011 revolutions in Tunisia and Egypt that sparked the Arab Spring.
乔杜里的下台是因为在当年3月拒绝迫于政府压力而辞职，他的下台激发了巴基斯坦司法系统大示威，并把他视为人民追求更公正、更独立的司法制度的象征。从某种程度上说，这场运动导致了后一年2月穆沙拉夫的选举失败和巴基斯坦回归民主，也是2010—2011年突尼斯和埃及革命及其后的阿拉伯之春的预演。
