List of NRO beneficiaries

The National Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO) was an ordinance issued by the former President of Pakistan, General Pervez Musharraf, on October 5, 2007.[1] It granted amnesty to politicians, political workers and bureaucrats who were accused of corruption, embezzlement, money laundering, murder, and terrorism between January 1, 1986, and October 12, 1999, the time between two states of martial law in Pakistan. It was declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court of Pakistan on December 16, 2009, throwing the country into a political crisis.[2][3] All individual names were supposedly kept in secrecy but the government was forced to declassified all names after a successful intervention of the Supreme Court of Pakistan in 2009.

List of NRO beneficiaries

The Government of Pakistan issued a list of 8041 individuals who benefited from NRO including 34 politicians. The list includes Altaf Hussain, Farooq Sattar, Nusrat Bhutto and several other political figures.
