ISLAMABAD:
Former president Pervez Musharraf spent his first night at the Chak Shahzad farmhouse as a prisoner, and was served fresh juice, tea, bread and jam for breakfast, Express News reported Sunday.
The retired general was presented in an anti-terrorism court in connection with the judges’ arrests case and was sent on 14-day judicial remand on Saturday, while his farmhouse was declared sub-jail.
The ex-president’s movement is limited to his bedroom, which is equipped with a television set and a refrigerator. He is also not allowed to use a telephone, mobile phone or computer.
Visitors barred
“Musharraf is being subjected to harsher conditions than he would have faced in Adiala Jail,” said All Pakistan Muslim League (APML) General Secretary Dr Amjad.
Amjad stated that although lawyers are allowed to meet their clients, Musharraf is currently barred from any visitor, including his lawyer.
“We have court hearings over the next three consecutive days. If he is not allowed to meet his lawyers, how will they fight his case?” asked Amjad.
