Don't welcome news of any death sentence but, under his leadership Pakistan was used by CIA to kidnap people from their homes in the middle of the night, in front of their families. I will never forget the night Pakistani ISI and US CIA agents stormed

into my house in the middle of the night and shutting out my life for the next three years. Musharraf boasted in his book - published by the same people who published my book - that he received "millions of dollars in bounty money" for all those he handed over.
It was under Musharraf that Pakistani airspace was used to allow bombing missions into Afghanistan that killed thousands. It was under this man that war flared up in the KPK (NWFP) region and armed UAV (drones) began targeted assassinations and brutal internal conflict.
It was under him that Aafia Siddiqui and her children were disappeared for 5 years inexplicably which led to her imprisonment by the US and her subsequent abandonment by Pakistan. 100s more disappeared, never to return like the husband of @AminaMJanjua
It is a sad that Musharraf has not been charged with any of the crimes listed above - most of which occurred before 2007. But that's fine. Most of those he handed over to the US without any legal process are now free. He on the other-hand is a convicted traitor.
In truth, this man has hidden in London in the past and is currently in the Emirates where I'm sure he'll remain, fighting his case in absentia all the way to the Supreme Court. Even then I doubt he's ever returning to Pakistan.
All I have to say, Mr Musharraf, is that I still remember the prayers brothers used to make against you in the middle of the night, when nothing stirred except the sounds of crickets and the soft Caribbean breeze rubbing the barbed wired against the razor wire.
The noble Prophet said:

"Fear the prayer of the oppressed for between it and Allah there is no barrier."

Those prayers are being made - and answered - even now.
