Murtaza Bhutto was a courageous man and an emerging leader

We demand justice for our brother who was cold blood murdered just a few yards away from his house.

Murtaza Bhutto’s murder was a great tragedy for Sindh. He was a courageous man and an emerging leader for the downtrodden and ill-served people in our province. It has been about 12 years now but we still don’t know who ordered his killing. Case has been in court since long but it doesn’t seem to go anywhere.

 

You can read an article by his daughter Fatima Bhutto to see how the main accused have been “rewarded” instead of being taken to task:

As for Justice Nasir Aslam Zahid tribunal: As I remember the tribunal had presented its 242 page report about 11 years ago to the then Sindh government. It had limited scope and didn’t fix blame on anybody. It had however exonerated Farooq Leghari of his involvement in the murder.

The tribunal had also dismissed speculation that the death was an accident. It did not absolve the police force, and said that the orders for the murder came from “a higher authority,” above that of the city police chief and the area police commander, who supervised the operation.

It didn’t say who that “higher authority” was. People want to know who ordered the murder of that valiant son of Sindh and the culprits have to be brought to justice. I hope you and all the North American Sindhi community members would join me in this demand.

We demand justice for our brother who was cold blood murdered just a few yards away from his house.
