Shaheed Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto was victim of an unfair trial and his execution was a judicial murder, PPP HR Cell
On the eve of Shaheed Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto's 33rd death anniversary, the PPP Human Rights Cell has termed his trial unfair, and his execution a judicial murder.
The Central Coordinator Dr Nafisa Shah, Secretary General Sheikh Mansur, and members Shahjahan Sarfaraz, Rubina Qaimkhani, Dr Zile Huma and Shazia Tehmas have hailed President Asif Ali Zardari's decision to send the reference under Article 189 to the Supreme Court of Pakistan. "Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto had planned to approach the courts for vindication of the great democratic leader, and by doing so, the President has not only followed her footsteps but also the responded to the will of the people of
Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto gave the people of this country rights, in the form of the Constitution of 1973. But he was denied his fundamental right of a fair trail. "It was a glaring case of an unfair trial, where at every step, justice was denied," said the Central Coordinator Dr Nafisa Shah. "We hope that the revisiting of the case is not made victim of delays and hope also that this historical wrong would be corrected by the courts, not only to redeem Shaheed Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, but the very justice system of this country. This nation needs good news, and this would certainly be one – and would lead to strengthening of democracy," She added.
The PPP HR Cell members further recalled that the courts have been used historically to validate the suspensions of law, and by doing so, made all acts of omission of the dictators legally valid, and more importantly exposed the people to abuse of their fundamental rights. Now, as the courts are independent, the people expect justice for the great leader, noted the members.
The members further decided to visit the Court regularly, once the hearing resumed.
