It outlines claims that the government issued White Papers to prejudice the court—alleging election rigging in March 1977 and misuse of the news media in Bhutto’s tenure—while he is confined in a death cell without access to evidence. The introduction sets the stakes, describes “five ominous indications,” and frames propaganda as a path toward execution.","IF I AM ASSASSINATED  \nBy  \nZULFIKAR ALI BHUTTO  \nReproduced in PDF Format By:  \nSani Hussain Panhwar  \nCONTENTS  \nIn The Supreme Court of Pakistan  \nIntroduction .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. 1  \n1.

Appellant Versus  \nThe State.……………………………………………………….. Respondent  \nThe undersigned Appellant respectfully submits:  \n1. That during the pendency of the present Appeal and while it was being heard before this Honorable Court, the Government of Pakistan has come outwith two White Papers, one on the alleged rigging of elections in March 1977, and the other on the alleged misuse of the news media during the tenure of my Government. Obviously the time for publicising the false, fabricated and malicious allegations contained in these two White Papers has been deliberately chosen and is a calculated attempt to prejudice man-kind against me and to prejudice the hearing of my case. The second White Paper on the media, which was issued on 28 August 1978, was in fact printed on 25 March 1978, as would appear from the printing date on the front page and the cover, on which another date was superimposed.  \n2. That I am confined in a death cell and have no access to the material needed for effectively refuting the false and scandalous allegations in these“White Papers.” But nevertheless, with all my limitations, I have attempted a reply to the same in the following paragraphs to keep the record straight, and for such action as this Honorable Court deems fit in the interest of Justice.  \nIntroduction  \n“More than My Life Is At Stake”  \nFive Omens  \nRao Abdur Rashid, a former Director of the Intelligence Bureau of Pakistan, has reported to the Supreme Court of Pakistan that Brigadier Abdul Naeem, a trusted member of the military group which rules Pakistan had the following conversation with him one day about Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, President and Prime Minister of Pakistan until he was deposed in a military coup, put into jail and sentenced to death:  \nBrigadier Abdul Naeem: “Do you think that the army can afford to see Mr. Bhutto back in power?”  \nRao Abdur Rashid, a trusted Special Secretary to Bhutto, keeps a discreet silence.  \nBrigadier Naeem answers his own question and says:  \n“Obviously it can’t”.  \nBefore departing, Brigadier Naeem advises Rao Abdur Rashid:  \n“Please cooperate with the army”.  \nThis conversation sums up the dire threat that hangs on the head of Mr. Bhutto “in this narrow, dark, sinking death cell, where I am confined 22 or 23 hours every day.” This is how Bhutto describes what has been his residence for almost a year in the District Jail, Rawalpindi.  \nBhutto has appealed to the Supreme Court against the death sentence passed on him by the Lahore High Court on an allegedly political murder under his instructions when he was in power. The Supreme Court has concluded the hearings and reserved judgment.  \nIf I am Assassinated; Copyright © [www.bhutto.org](www.bhutto.org 1)[ 1](www.bhutto.org 1)  \nBut the military government of Pakistan has kept up a barrage of propaganda against him to influence the Supreme Court, Bhutto alleges,
