Pakistan’s former military dictator Pervez Musharraf has been sentenced to death in a sedition case. Pakistan’s special court convicted the former military ruler and sentenced him to death. The case against the former president has been heard by a three-member bench of the special court headed by the Chief Justice of Peshawar.
High Court Waqar Ahmed Seth. There was a ban on the verdict on 28 November
Earlier, a three-judge bench had issued a statement saying that a decision would be given on December 17 in the sedition case. The Islamabad High Court, while hearing the petitions filed by Musharraf living in Dubai and the Government of Pakistan, barred the special court from delivering the verdict on November 28.
Last week, the special court had asked 76-year-old Musharraf to record his statement in the sedition case on December 5. After that, Musharraf, living in Dubai, issued a message to the supporters, saying that he was very ill and could not come to the country and record the statement.
