Congratulations Pakistan! Whether this penalty is enforced or not is yet to be seen but this is big. First time in our history. Hats off to the brave judges! #musharraf — Imaan Zainab Mazari-Hazir (@ImaanZHazir) December 17, 2019 I oppose death penalty even for criminals like Musharraf. Yet, this decision is imp since it challenges the history of impunity for Generals. We should realize that subverting constitutions & overthrowing govts is more treasonous than criticizing “institutions” #Musharraf — Ammar Ali Jan (@ammaralijan) December 17, 2019 Historical & unprecedented verdict by any of the Pakistani courts against any military dictator. I think the superior court will turn down the capital punishment if #musharraf goes into an appeal but I must say the special court has done daring & courageous job. Good job 👍 — Ameer Abbas (@ameerabbas84) December 17, 2019 #Musharraf becomes Pakistan’s first dictator ever to be charged for scrapping constitution. Whether this spineless govt will be able to bring him back for some real accountability is yet to be known but it’s quite relieving that the courts have at least set a precedent this time. — Maleeha Manzoor (@MaleehaManzoor) December 17, 2019 I condemn this descion .Mushraf is a honest man .The economic growth in Mushraf Regin was unmatchable The corrupt Leaders Like Zardari and Nawaz who looted the country are enjoying luxurious lives “WTH” .If #Musharraf has been” SENTENCED TO DEATH “Then “Hang them All “! pic.twitter.com/NWjGNjUy3b — Syeda Laila Jaffri 🇵🇰 (@Mohtermalaila) December 17, 2019 Tags Pervez Musharraf treason case
