Today marks the 20th death anniversary of Mir Murtaza Bhutto, founder of Pakistan Peoples Party-Shaheed Bhutto (PPP-SB) and son of late prime minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto.
In a tribute to her father, Fatima Bhutto shared a photo of herself and her father on Instagram with the caption, “Today is 20 years since my father was killed by Pakistan's police on orders of the state outside our home. This is one of my favourite pictures, he broke his hand and had to wear a sling. I wore one too in solidarity. (And cos it looked cool)”

Voice of dissent: Govt criticised for compromising on accountability
Murtaza was shot dead by police in 1996 outside his home in Karachi. His sister Benazir Bhutto was prime minister at the time. The event precipitated the fall of her government. In 2008, his brother-in-law Asif Zardari was acquitted of ordering the murder.
