Pakistan’s Supreme Court has upheld the death sentence awarded to former military ruler General Pervez Musharraf by a special court in a treason case in 2019. Musharraf, the military ruler of Pakistan and responsible for the Kargil war in 1999, died in Dubai on February 5 last year after a prolonged illness. The 79-year-old former president was undergoing treatment in Dubai.
He had been living in self-exile in the United Arab Emirates since 2016 to avoid criminal charges. A four-member bench headed by Chief Justice of Pakistan Qazi Faez Isa pronounced the verdict. 1
