Pakistan's ex-military ruler Pervez Musharraf sentenced to death in high treason case by special court: Media

Pakistan's ex-military ruler Pervez Musharraf sentenced to death in high treason case by the special court said Media.

He was indicted on March 31, 2014, and the prosecution had tabled the entire evidence before the special court in September the same year. However, due to litigation at appellate forums, Musharraf's trial lingered on and he left for Dubai in March 2016 "to seek medical treatment."

The former Pakistan President has then declared an absconder as he failed to appear in court despite repeated summons and the court issued a directive to the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) to arrest him.
