	Definition of Muhammad Zia ul-Haq
		Zia released Bhutto and asserted that he could contest new elections in October 1977.
		Zia's Islamization too, was widely seen as a ploy to prolong his dictatorship, and many of the edicts and "amendments" to the constitution of the country had literally nothing to do with Islamic Jurisprudence or Sharea.
		The most lasting effect of 11 years of Zia's militray rule in Pakistan have been a vast increase in hard drugs consumption, traffic and export, gunn-running, and deep schisms in the body-politic of the country.

	Benazir Bhutto: Leader With a Headstart
		Democracy descended into the deep freeze when Bhutto, a fiery left-wing populist who had emerged from the landed gentry of Sind province, was accused by the new military government of complicity in a provincial assassination plot which had led to the death of the intended victim's father.

	Rights groups deplore Pakistan rape law compromise - Boston.com
		The laws, which make a rape victim liable to prosecution for adultery if she can not produce four male witnesses, were introduced in 1979 by military ruler Mohammad Zia-ul-Haq and have drawn widespread criticism both at home and abroad.
		Human rights campaigners have long pressed for the repeal of the laws, known as the Hudood Ordinances, but nevertheless welcomed government efforts to amend them, including taking rape out of the sphere of religious law.
		Rights activists said the concessions would water down the impact of the changes and would be confusing, with rape and adultery being crimes under both Islamic law and the penal code.

		NO TIME PRESSURE: Information and Broadcasting Minister Mohammad Ali Durrani, who announced the deferment of the bill at a news conference, declined to say when it would be taken up again or whether it could happen during the current session.
		He said fixing a date would depend on contacts in progress with other parties about possible amendments but that the government wanted it to be passed “as soon as possible” although it was under no “time pressure”.
