Thousands of activists from Benazir Bhutto’s Pakistan People’s party on Friday converged on a remote part of the southern Sindh province for her funeral amid memories of the heavy price paid by her family in the country’s turbulent history.

Bhutto’s final resting place – her family’s ancestral cemetery in the village of Garhi Khuda Bukhsh outside the Bhutto hometown of Larkana – is also that of her late father, Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, the former prime minister and founder of the PPP, and her two brothers, Murtaza and Shah Nawaz.
