Pervez Musharraf : Trail for treason
Pervez Musharraf is facing trail for
treason for his role in forcing emergency rule in 2007, charges of which is
objected as politically motivated.
Since his return to Pakistan from his self-imposed
exile, Musharraf had been accused of treason, detention of judges, killing of
rebel leaders and to the death of former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto.
Musharraf who
had ruled Pakistan
for over a decade had been under house arrest since April 2013. There had been
rumors of under the bench deal to let Musharraf leave Pakistan before
facing the trail charges in order to avoid clashes between the army and
civilian government. But with the current scenario this is likely to happen
with Musharraf vowing to stay and prove his innocence and also asking for
forgiveness if there had been any misdoings during his reign.
