I can't help think, though, that for her stand to rise to the level of Rosa Parks significance would require a substantial native movement around her. Instead, what it looks like to me is the Nigerian case (the name escapes me at the moment) of stoning for adultery, where international pressure forced the central government to interfere in local affairs to defuse the situation and take the pressure off (did I mix metaphors? oh, well), but not to change the fundamental laws and practices. Is there a Pakistani movement? The only way to find out is to keep watching and see what moves... This is a great post, and a very important issue.

My hope is that the galvanization effect from her case emboldens the movements for democracy as well as reform. It is a tall order as long as The General is supported by the WH, but I have hopes.
