Court lifts Musharraf travel ban
Print Edition
PAKISTAN’S government was yesterday ordered to lift a travel ban on former military ruler Pervez Musharraf in a court decision that could draw a line under a raft of legal troubles.
Musharraf has been battling several court cases, including treason charges for imposing emergency rule in 2007, since he returned to Pakistan last year to contest elections, stoking tensions between civilian authorities and the powerful military.
His exit from Pakistan could help ease those tensions at a time when the country is fighting a resurgent Taliban following a brazen attack on Karachi’s airport this week that left dozens dead.
Musharraf has said he wants the travel ban lifted so he can visit his sick mother in Dubai, but many see it as a ruse to flee the country.
