Pakistan’s Supreme Court, in a ruling on Wednesday, declared that Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, the former Prime Minister who was executed 44 years ago after a murder conviction, did not receive a fair trial. Bhutto, the founder of the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), was hanged in 1979 during General Zia-ul-Haq’s military regime. Chief Justice Qazi Faez Isa, speaking on behalf of a nine-member bench, stated that the fair trial and due process standards were unmet.
