    General Zia-ul-Haq took power in Pakistan in 1977 through a military coup. Over the next 11 years until his death in 1988, he instituted policies of Islamization in Pakistan. This included introducing Islamic laws and establishing Shariat courts. He also cracked down on opposition and the press. Zia remained in power through controversial referendums and dissolving elected governments. His Islamization transformed Pakistan's legal and education systems but also led to greater authoritarianism and censorship during his rule.
