Pervez Musharraf: Pakistan ex-leader sentenced to death for treason
|
[BBC] General Pervez Musharraf, Pakistan's former military leader, has been sentenced to death at a special court hearing in Islamabad.
The three-member court sentenced him over a high treason charge that has been pending since 2013.
Gen Musharraf seized power in a military coup in 1999 and served as the country's president from 2001 to 2008.
He is currently in Dubai after being allowed to leave the country for medical treatment in 2016.
Time to cash in that return flight ticket, if he's smart
The charge relates to Gen Musharraf's suspension of the constitution in 2007, when he imposed emergency rule in a move intended to extend his tenure.
The 76-year-old issued a video statement from a hospital bed earlier this month, describing the case against him as "baseless".
Gen Musharraf is the first military ruler to ever stand trial in Pakistan for overruling the constitution.
The verdict was announced Tuesday with a 2-1 majority.
