Apparently, it is possible to sentence a former president to death in current year.
You just have to live in a primitive Islamic country.
These are the same countries that allow you to do other important acts of justice, like beat your wife and execute people for homosexuality. So they are in fact more civilized than white countries.
Pervez Musharraf, Pakistan’s former president who has been living outside the country, was sentenced to death in absentia Tuesday on charges of high treason stemming from his decision to suspend the constitution and detain judges in 2007.
Salman Nadeem, a government law officer, told Reuters that Musharraf was found guilty of Article 6 “for violation of the constitution of Pakistan.” The three-person court ruled in favor of the sentence 2-1.
“For the first time in the history of Pakistan… a military dictator has been punished by a court of law,” Hamid Ali Khan, a senior Supreme Court lawyer, said following the verdict.
But Akhtar Shah, one of Musharraf’s attorneys, said he would appeal.
“Musharraf today sent me a message, saying he is ready to come to Pakistan but his doctors are not allowing him to travel,” the lawyer told The Associated Press following the ruling. He added that Musharraf offered to give a statement to the court through a video link but the request was denied.
Musharraf has been living in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates, and is said to be very ill and unlikely to travel home to face the sentence. Pakistan and the UAE have no extradition treaty and Emirati authorities are unlikely to arrest Musharraf. If he were to return, however, Musharraf would have the right to challenge his conviction and sentence in court.
Musharraf took power in a 1999 coup but was forced to step down in 2008. The charges have been in place since 2013 and he was allowed to leave on bail in 2016 to seek medical treatment abroad.
In an infamous purge in 2007, Musharraf imposed a state of emergency and placed several key judges under house arrest in the capital, Islamabad, and elsewhere in Pakistan.
But the move to suspend the constitution backfired and led to widespread protests by the country’s powerful legal community. Musharraf left the country soon after.
Musharraf was probably a good guy, I guess.
He was basically a military dictator, and he was good for the economy. Though he was also an ally of the United States and helped with the “War on Terror.” Osama bin Laden was allegedly living in his country from the time of the invasion of Afghanistan until his alleged assassination by the US government in 2011. Presumably, he was protected there at the behest of the US government, because if he’d been killed at the beginning of the war, it would have been harder to continue the war for another seventeen (17) years.
But he did have that horrible democracy bitch, Benazir Bhutto, assassinated as soon as her plane touched down in the country in 2007.
Whatever.
Pakistan is a joke country, no one really cares what happens there. Except they do actually have nuclear weapons, so the US makes sure to control whatever government they have, whether it is the Musharraf government or the government saying they’re going to execute him for treason.
Still, putting a former national leader on trial for treason and sentencing him to execution is an inspirational story. Because I can’t think of any former leader of any Western country who doesn’t deserve such a treatment.
