Hang Corpse Issue : Pak Govt Seeks to Remove Judge
ISLAMABAD: Pak government is seeking to remove the leader of a three-judge bench that sentenced former president Pervez Musharraf to death on charges of treason and added a rider about his carcass, Law Minister Farogh Naseem said yesterday.
The Pakistan government had decided to approach the Higher Judicial council. “Our plea is that such a judge has got no authority to be a judge of any high court or the supreme court,” he said. “He is unfit.”
The court sentenced Musharraf to death yesterday after finding him guilty of high treason for subverting the constitution in 2007.
