Pervez Musharraf arrested, produced before magistrate

Former Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf was finally arrested on early Friday morning in Islamabad and was placed under house arrest as the court framed terror charges against former military dictator.

Musharraf will be produced before the anti-terror court in two days.

Musharraf escaped the court room yesterday after Islamabad High Court cancelled his bail. Today morning police arrested him from his farmhouse and presented before a judicial magistrate.

General Musharraf told GEO News, “I respect the law. I came to Pakistan on my own. I will face the consequences.”

Musharraf’s spokesperson Raza Bokhari said, “Musharraf has chosen to avoid a confrontation. His actions are voluntary. His lawyers will carve out the next course of action. Allegations in the lower court with respect to the judge detention case is a bailable offense. Hope that he will receive a bail.”
