Pakistani Police Arrest Former President Musharraf

Pakistani police arrested former president Pervez Musharraf, on Friday.

Thursday saw him flee court after he was charged with treason.

The High Court said he committed treason by violating the Constitution, in 2007.

In 2007, Musharraf suspended the Constitution and put the country under emergency rule.

Musharraf's lawyers are appealing to the Supreme Court, over the matter.

Remarkably, Pakistan's military has remained silent, as they watch their former chief brought up on charges.

In May, Pakistan will have an election that will see the first transition ever between civilian governments.
