Benazir Bhutto 1954-2007
Chairman and Parliamentary Candidate pay tribute

It is with great sadness that we pay this tribute to the life and work of Benazir Bhutto, who was cruelly assassinated on 27th December 2007.

Ms Bhutto was our guest at a dinner on 26th August 2007. In her address, she spoke with dignity and clarity of her hopes of restoring democracy to the people of Pakistan and her aspirations for her country and her people.

She was fully aware of the dangers she was facing on her return to Pakistan, but believed that her mission was of such importance that these must be faced. She was determined to clear her name of the allegations of corruption in a court of law and then lead her people towards their rightful place in the world.

Ms Bhutto's death is a tragedy for her family and friends, but is also a severe blow for her country and the people she loved and wished to serve.

We were priveleged to have met her we join with all people of goodwill in mourning her death.
