Former military ruler General (retd) Pervez Musharraf was hospitalised in Dubai after his health deteriorated on Monday, days ahead of a hearing scheduled in high-treason case against him.
Pervez Musharraf was rushed to hospital after his health suddenly deteriorated. Former president’s health has been very poor these days and is receiving medical treatment in Dubai,” said Mehrene Malik Adam, secretary-general OF All Pakistan Muslim League (APML).
Musharraf left for Dubai in 2016 to ‘seek medical treatment’ and has not returned to the country since. He was booked in high treason case in December 2013 and was indicted for high treason by a special court in March 2014. The special court hearing the case had recently reserved the verdict and was scheduled to announce it on November 28. However, an Islamabad High Court bench headed by Chief Justice Athar Minallah ruled that the special court should hear the stance of former president Musharraf in the case before announcing the verdict.
He is on trial for “subverting the Constitution” by promulgating state of emergency in the country on November 3, 2007.
