Pakistan sentences former dictator Pervez Musharraf to death in treason case
.... Its the first time in Pakistans history that a former army chief and ruler of the country has been sentenced to death. Musharraf, who was sentenced in absentia, has been out of the country since 2016, when he was allowed to leave on bail to seek medical treatment abroad.
He 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. ....
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. He came to power after ousting former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif in a 1999 bloodless coup. ....
Sharif himself was ousted in 2017 and was later convicted of corruption. He left Pakistan on bail earlier this month to travel to London for medical treatment. ....

Trumpy is probably reading this and thinking to himself that after he loses the election he should go to Russia to seek medical attention for those life threatening bone spurs.....

The Toad will probably be given a pokey little apartment in Tsarskoe Selo or Yekateringrad, then die mysteriously of natural causes after a few months.
