As heir to Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, the legendary democratic leader who was hanged by General Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq’s government in 1979, Benazir emerged as a symbol of resistance at a young age – but languished in jails and exile in the 1980’s. Z. A. Bhutto’s legacy was empowerment of the impoverished and defense of ordinary people’s rights amid feudalistic politics and military rule.
作为阿里•布托（在1979年被齐亚•哈克将军判处死刑的传奇式民主领袖）的继承人，贝•布托在年轻时代就以抵抗力量象征的姿态出现—但在1980年代却遭受了牢狱与流放之苦。阿里•布托的遗策是在封建政治和军事统治下赋权给穷苦民众并捍卫普通大众的权利。他没有向军事统治者屈服，而是选择了绞架。
