Pakistan's High Court annuls 'unconstitutional' death sentence handed to former military ruler Pervez Musharraf

The death sentence of former Pakistani military ruler Pervez Musharraf has been annulled.

A Pakistan court ruled today that the special court which had found him guilty of treason last year was unconstitutional.

Musharraf was sentenced to death in absentia by a special court in December last year on treason charges stemming from his imposition of a state of emergency in 2007.
