Bhutto asks UN to save Zardari
ISLAMABAD: Pakistan's former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto has asked the
United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights to intervene and save
her jailed husband's life. ``My father Zulfikar Ali Bhutto was hanged
through an abuse of the judicial system by the military General Zia-ul
Haq. Now the heirs of the military dictator are attempting to do the
same to my husband,'' Bhutto wrote in a letter released late Friday to
Mary Robinson, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights.
Gen Zia-ul Haq overthrew Prime Minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto in 1977 and
eventually executed him in 1979 after a controversial trial for
allegedly plotting the murder of a political opponent. Gen Zia himself
was killed in a mysterious air crash in 1988.
Bhutto's spouse Asif Ali Zardari, a member of Pakistan's Upper House of
the Parliament --the Senate -- was on Monday indicted by a Pakistani
court on charges of drug trafficking.
In her letter, Bhutto asked the UNHCR to monitor judicial functioning
through contacts with victims of abuse and human rights organisations
before taking up the matter with the government of Pakistan. Zardari has
been kept in solitary confinement since Bhutto's dismissal as premier in
November 1996. Charges against him include his involvement in the murder
of his brother-in-law, Murtaza Bhutto, in September 1997.
In April, a special accountability court disqualified both Bhutto and
Zardari from Parliament and sentenced each of them to five years in jail
for taking bribes from a Swiss company in return for a big government
contract in 1994. Their petitions challenging the disqualification are
pending before the Supreme Court.
Bhutto has been staying abroad since her conviction by the
accountability court to avoid arrest. The couple are contesting more
than a dozen cases of alleged graft and abetting crime, which Bhutto
says are aimed at eliminating her from politics. (DPA)

You are plain fucking dumb asshole. You pakistanis have no
self respect. Pakistan, what a failure. Military dictators,
corrupt political bastards have been running your country
for last 52 years.

BB herself is a master (or should it be a mistress) of thieving. So
get rid of the bastard.

Maybe true, maybe not. What I fail to grasp is why is that
a problem for you?
