Silvio Berlusconi 'avoiding justice', say tens of thousands of protesters
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/8541279.stm
<snip>
Ten of thousands of Italians have demonstrated in Rome against Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, over what they say are attempts to evade justice.

Mr Berlusconi is on trial in two corruption cases. But legislation being discussed in parliament would in effect stop him going to court.

The protesters accuse the PM of seeking to undermine the legal system.

He says he is the victim of political persecution by the judiciary, which he recently compared to the Taliban.

Some demonstrators carried banners reading: "Enough, the law is the same for everyone."
