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.
I’m a pathologist and have many Muslim colleagues who have no religious scruples about performing autopsies. The fact that none was performed in this murder is the elephant in the room. I’m amazed it hasn’t gotten any attention. It’s the only way to know how she died. I’m pretty sure she was shot but the angle of the gunshot, whether she was shot more than once and by more than one weapon, etc. are enormously important. The literally buried the evidence here.
