Summary The special court will resume hearing against former president Musharraf in treason case today.
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – A special court, headed by Justice Faisal Arab, will resume hearing of treason case against former President Pervez Musharraf resumes today (Monday).
However, a lawyer representing Pakistan s former military ruler Pervez Musharraf said Sunday the retired general would not make a scheduled appearance at his treason trial on Monday because of an ongoing illness.
The 70-year-old was rushed to a military hospital on Thursday after developing what a police official called a "heart problem" while being taken to hear treason charges against him at a special tribunal in Islamabad.
Musharraf s team says the treason allegations, which relate to his imposition of emergency rule in November 2007, are politically motivated and his lawyers have challenged the authority of the three-judge tribunal.
