巴法院命令政府取消对穆沙拉夫的旅行禁令

A Pakistani court has ordered the government to lift a travel ban on former military ruler Pervez Musharraf, who faces charges of treason.

The court, on Thursday, approved Mr. Musharraf's request to have his name removed from an Exit Control List.

The former military ruler has said he wants to visit his sick mother in Dubai.

In March, Mr. Musharraf was indicted for treason.

The charge stems from his decision in 2007 to suspend the constitution and declare a state of emergency, in his bid to extend his disputed rule as president.  If convicted, the 70-year-old former ruler could face the death penalty.
