Explanation

This refers to former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto, who returned from exile in 2007 and faced house arrest briefly. After nearly 9 years in self-exile, she returned to lead her party but was immediately placed under house arrest. Later that year, she was assassinated in a terrorist attack. Her return and detention were major political events in Pakistan's turbulent democratic history.
