A court in Pakistan has handed a death sentence to the country's former president Pervez Musharraf. He was found guilty of high treason for suspending the constitution in 2007.
Musharraf ruled Pakistan with a heavy hand from 1999 to 2008 after leading a bloodless military coup against a civilian government. To avoid a challenge to his rule, he suspended the constitution and purged the judiciary. Musharraf is currently in self-exile in Dubai and was tried in absentia.
