Paramilitary soldiers walk to restore traffic after a protest of Pakistan People's Party (PPP) supporters against the Supreme Court decision to arrest Prime Minister Raja Pervez Ashraf in Karachi January 16, 2013. Pakistan's Supreme Court ordered the arrest of the prime minister on Tuesday on corruption allegations, ratcheting up pressure on a government that is also facing street protests led by a cleric who has a history of ties to the army. The combination of the arrest order and the mass protest in the capital, Islamabad, led by Muslim cleric Muhammad Tahirul Qadri, raised fears among politicians that the military was working with the judiciary to force out a civilian leader.
