Pervez PervMusharraf
... former dictator of Pakistain, who was less dictatorial and corrupt than any Pak civilian government to date ...
in the case pertaining to the murder of former Lal Masjid
...literally the
Red Mosque, located in Islamabad and frequented by all sorts of high govt officials. The proprietors, Ghazi Abdul Rasheed and Maulana Abdul Aziz Ghazi, unleashed their Islamic storm troopers on the city, shutting down whorehouses and beating people up who weren't devout enough. The Musharraf govt put an end to the nonsense by besieging the place. Abdul Aziz Ghazi was nabbed while he was trying to escape dressed up like a girl. BBC reported that the corpse count at 173, but other claims, usually hysterical, say there were up to 1000 titzup. Among their number was Abdul Rashid Ghazi. Everyone then said tut-tut and what a nice guy he had been...
holy man Ghazi Abdul Rasheed.
The court also rejected a plea requesting complete exemption for Musharraf from appearing in the court.
Police has been ordered to arrest the former president and present him in court for the next hearing of the case which was adjourned until July 24.
The judge also directed Musharraf's guarantors to ensure his presence in court in the next hearing.
He warned of action against the guarantors and confiscation of the bail money submitted, in case the former military ruler does not appear in court.
Earlier in April, a local court in Islamabad had also issued a non-bailable arrest warrant for Musharraf over his failure to appear in the court despite repeated summons.
