Musharraf among ‘ten worst dictators’
WASHINGTON, PTI:
Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf is among “the world’s 10 worst dictators” on a list prepared by a widely-circulated US magazine in consultation with human rights groups.
Musharraf ranks seventh on the list — which Omar al-Bashmir of Sudan tops — issued by Parade magazine. Second on the roll of notoriety is Kim Jong Il of North Korea, followed by Than Shwe of Burma, Hu Jintao of China, Crown Prince Abdullah of Saudi Arabia and Muammar Gaddafi of Libya.
Turkmenistan’s Saparmurat Niyazov is eighth, Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe ninth and Teodoro Obiang Nguema of Equatorial Guinea tenth in the list.
President Fidel Castro of Cuba and King Mswati III of Swaziland were on last year’s list but have been nudged out this time. Musharraf figures for the first time.
The list has been compiled by writer David Wallechinsky.
