Pakistani court orders Musharraf arrest

PanARMENIAN.Net - A court in Pakistan has ordered the arrest of Pakistan's former military ruler Pervez Musharraf over the house arrest of judges in March 2007.

Musharraf was present at the Islamabad High Court when the judges issued the order. He had been seeking bail in the case. Police present at the court did not arrest him when the order was made.

The retired general immediately left the court and drove away escorted by his security detail.

According to BBC, when judges issue arrest warrants in court, the suspect is normally handcuffed within the court premises.

Musharraf can file an appeal against this court order in Pakistan's Supreme Court.
