Pakistan court: Zardari corruption case 'must be reopened'
Pakistan's Supreme Court has ordered the government to request the Swiss authorities to reopen a corruption case against President Asif Ali Zardari.
The case is at the centre of contempt proceedings against Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani, who is accused of failing to pursue the allegations.
The government has argued that Mr Zardari has presidential immunity. He says the case is politically motivated.
But the court has said a compliance report must be filed by 21 March.
