ISLAMABAD, Jan 10 — Pakistan’s Supreme Court today upheld a death sentence for former military ruler Pervez Musharraf for abrogating the country’s Constitution, almost a year after the strongman’s death, reported German news agency (dpa).
The powerful military has seized power in Pakistan at least four times, but Musharraf’s death sentence was the first time a general was punished for a coup.
Musharraf, who seized power in a bloodless coup in 1999 and ruled Pakistan for nine years, was handed a death sentence by a special tribunal in 2019 after finding him guilty of treason.
But the sentence was overturned by a High Court weeks later and an appeal was filed in the Supreme Court that remained pending for years.
