...twice being dismissed from power on allegations of corruption, which she denies. But she remains easily the most popular politician in Pakistan and is therefore an essential participant in any future setup that hopes to call itself democratic. The third player is of course Musharraf, well intentioned but increasingly ill advised. He has developed an alarming inability to distinguish between his individual interests and those of the state...

In many cases, police are bypassing hospitals altogether and taking detainees to jail - an often harrowing destination for the mentally ill, but a place where they can at least receive treatment for the immediate crisis.
