To justice, for the first time

It is the first time that Pakistani courts are hesitant to order the arrest of a former head of the powerful military of China, whose current leadership keeps a scrupulous silence on the situation of Musharraf. Several analysts agree that the army chief asked the former general would not come to avoid having to face the trials that were pending for the disrepute that this could have for the armed forces. However, it is unknown what may be the reaction of the leadership of the Armed Forces to the unprecedented development of the trial against the military took a coup in 1999 and ruled the country until 2008. Musharraf's arrest adds to the mishap which earned him his recent disqualification of the elections next May after the electoral tribunals not considered suitable as a candidate for their legal problems. The former dictator is now trapped by the prosecution, which includes a ban on leaving the country , and the death threats by fundamentalist insurgency, which openly confronted Musharraf.
