    He was listed as a wanted person in the Red Mosque cleric killing case and the assassination of former prime minister Benazir Bhutto.

    Digital Desk: General Pervez Musharraf (Retd), the former president of Pakistan, died on Sunday in a hospital in Dubai at the age of 79, according to a report by Geo News.

    A prolonged sickness ultimately led to the former military leader's demise. In Dubai's American Hospital, he was receiving medical care.

    Fawad Hussain, a senior member of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf, expressed his sympathy on Twitter and wrote, "He was a magnificent man who always put Pakistan first. Pervez Musharraf passed away. May God grant him forgiveness."


    According to a tweet from his family on June 10, the former army chief is at a point when “recovery is not possible and organs are malfunctioning". ". "He is not breathing artificially. has spent the past three weeks in the hospital because of a complication with his condition (Amyloidosis). passing through a challenging stage where recovery is impossible and organs are failing. Ask God to make his life easier "stated the family.




    In the UAE, he was diagnosed with the life-threatening disease Amyloidosis in 2018. A rare condition called amyloidosis develops when an aberrant protein accumulates in organs and obstructs normal function.

    Gen. Musharraf departed for medical treatment in Dubai in March 2016 but never came back to Pakistan.

    He was listed as a wanted person in the Red Mosque cleric killing case and the assassination of former prime minister Benazir Bhutto.

    In 2019, Musharraf, who ruled Pakistan from 1999 to 2008, was found guilty of high treason and sentenced to death for suspending the Constitution. Later in 2020, the Lahore High Court overturned Gen. Musharraf's death sentence by ruling that all actions taken by the Nawaz Sharif administration against him were "unconstitutional," including the filing of a complaint on a high treason charge and the establishment of a special court and its proceedings.
