Do you think it was right to hang Zulfikar Bhutto?

Thanks for the A2A
No…I don’t think he deserved the death penalty in such controversial circumstances..First it was a 3–2 vote…In the USA to get the Death Penalty it has to be pretty much unanimous and thats out of a jury of 12 (not 5) …In all divisions they gave penalty of “life” not death.
Secondly the court was under the influence of the Martial Law Administrator General Zia ul Haq so definitely biased….
Bhutto was also a dictator in his own right (he became Civilian Martial Law Administrator, dissolved the elected Provincial Assemblies of two provinces (out of 4) because the “elected” people there were not from his Party, admitted to rigging and re-holding the 1977 General Elections of Pakistan etc etc.
He should have been Jailed but not Hanged.
