If tried fairly and he is open to that. The problem is fairness is nowhere to be seen. But one should not be surprised, after all TIP.

I agree, and hope that the General gets what he so richly and rightly deserves.

what he deserves is a fair and transparent trial, as long as article 6 is applied in full.

What we are seeing is a kangaroo trial, this trial is a revenge trial, the whole world can see this.
No man will get justice in these courts, that were set up by the vindictive lohaar brathraans.

EVERYONE deserves a fair trial, it is every citizens legal and lawful right to get this.

Yes, you are correct, but please do remember that this man once deprived tens of millions of their legal rights with one stroke and he needs to answer for that action.

yet he is a coward hehe.. maybe we should raise an army of judges and lawyers and Indians will start trembling and commit mass suicides

Considering that Terrorists of all hues have still not got afraid of the courts in Pakistan yet, little will happen to the Indians.

Though its likely that the Samosa-Makers and Halwais in Pakistan must be terrified of the Courts now, since the Courts, Suo-Moto regulated the price of Samosas.

نوازشریف کے خریدے ہوئے یہ جج تو جونئیر وکیل بننے کے قابل بھی نہیں، نوازشریف تو خود بھی مشرف کے خلاف کچھ کرنے کی جرات نہیں کرسکتا تو اسکے یہ خصوصی عدالت کے نوکر جج مشرف کو کیا کہیں گے؟

Pervez Musharraf's lawyers 'threatened with beheading'

Islamabad: Lawyers representing Pakistan's former military ruler Pervez Musharraf in a landmark treason case said on Wednesday they had been threatened with beheading and urged a new venue for the trial.

They also urged the court to let Musharraf, who last month became the first former army chief to appear in court for treason, to go abroad for medical treatment.

The case relates to his 2007 imposition of emergency rule and is seen as a key test of civilian authority over the country's powerful army.

Lawyer Ahmad Raza Kasuri said the defence team wanted the trial shifted to another location and feared for its safety, after a gun and suicide attack on a lower court complex in Islamabad on Monday left 11 dead.

"We cannot go ahead with this case in these conditions," he said, before reading aloud from a threatening letter he said the team had received.

The handwritten letter, seen by AFP, said: "Dear Sirs, we request that the three of you stop representing Musharraf otherwise we will destroy your children and behead all of you."

It was signed by the "people of South and North Waziristan".

Musharraf, who ruled Pakistan from 1999 to 2008, is reviled by Islamist militants for joining the US-led "war on terror" and survived two assassination attempts by them.

His lawyers also submitted a written application in which Musharraf stated: "It is requested that I may be allowed to travel abroad for my own treatment as also to attend to my seriously ailing mother".

Musharraf was diagnosed with triple-vessel coronary artery disease by military doctors in January. His mother, who resides in Dubai is 94 and is said to be suffering from a number of serious ailments.

Similar requests by Musharraf's lawyers in the past have been denied.

The special court, which has three judges and is presided over by Justice Faisal Arab, did not rule on either matter and will resume hearing the case on Friday.

Musharraf has endured a torrid time since returning to Pakistan in March last year on an ill-fated mission to run in the general election.

Almost as soon as he landed he was barred from contesting the vote and hit with a barrage of legal cases dating back to his rule.
