Former Pakistan President Sentenced To Death For Treason

Pervez Musharraf was sentenced to death for high treason by a three-judge panel. The charges were related to his 2007 decision to impose a state of emergency in Pakistan, during which he suspended the constitution and detained judges. Musharraf pleaded not guilty in 2014 but left for Dubai in 2016 for medical treatment and has not returned, citing security concerns. He has not commented on the court's decision.
