Pakistan Army stands with Pervez Musharraf 

A special court of Pakistan on Tuesday convicted former military ruler General Pervez Musharraf and sentenced him to death under Article Six of the Constitution.

It's the first time in the history of Pakistan that a former army chief was convicted in a case of treason and sentenced to death. The court has pronounced this decision 2-1. The Pakistan Army has strongly objected to this decision of the court.

Pakistan Army Major General Asif Ghafoor has issued a statement saying that the court's decision against General Pervez Musharraf has shocked the army, and makes us very sad.

 Pakistan Army Major General Asif Ghafoor has said in his statement, "Former Army Chief and former President General Pervez Musharraf have served the Pakistan country for 40 years. The person who fought in defense of the country can never be a traitor. The constitution has also been ignored in the court proceeding. Even the court was not allowed Pervez Musharraf to defend himself, which is the basic right. Ghafoor said that the Pakistan Army expects the court decision to be under the constitution of the country.
