To revolt is a natural tendency of life. Even a worm turns against the foot that crushes it. In general, the vitality and relative dignity of an animal can be measured by the intensity of its instinct to revolt.

If Sartre was France, Justice Chaudhry is Pakistan.

Pakistan’s military dictator Musharraf unleashed his second martial law primarily to bring down Mr Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry, the Chief Justice of Pakistan. Twenty days later, while the media is abuzz with reports of thousands of Pakistanis being released from detention and some are jumping to the conclusion that the emergency is softening up, the man who claims to lawfully be the highest jurist of Pakistan remains under house arrest.

If Sartre was France, Justice Chaudhry is Pakistan.

I am not sure that Sartre was France of not, for what is the question about France during the fight of democracy in Pakistan, Pakistan is Pakistan, he do not need any example for anyone else, Pakistanis needs to stand up to fight for there ownself, they should expect any help from someone else, the protest should be for themselves for brining the peace and stability for a nation of 160 million people on the land named Pakistan,

If we let this man down, then our justice system will forever remain a slave to the rulers. If we don't force the government/military to bring this man back, then judges will forever be making decisions according to the 'Doctrine of Need'.
