The real question here is why were they so quick to bury her and why wasn’t there an autopsy. People say that religious law prohibited this but in a political murder like this, with global implications, that has to be set aside. Bhutto’s body must be exhumed and a proper forensic investigation performed by pathologists outside the control of the government before anybody can say how she died. Until this happens nothing the Pakistani government says can be trusted
Pakistani Crminal law requires an autopsy in cases of unnatural death.All the gibberish about Islamic countries not having autopsies is nonsense.There are 2 versions to what happened.One is that the chief police officer at the hospital refused to sanction an autopsy & that Benazir’s husband also refused to give consent(saying he didn’t trust the government).The legal provisions supposedly empower the police to order an autopsy irrespective of the family’s wishes.
