Musharraf will be tried under Article Six of Pakistan’s constitution, according to which “any person who abrogates or subverts or suspends or holds in abeyance…the Constitution by use of force or show of force or by any other unconstitutional means shall be guilty of high treason.” Parliament has defined high treason as a capital offense.
穆沙拉夫的起诉依据是巴基斯坦宪法第六条，该条款说“任何通过使用武力、展示武力或其他任何违宪手段废除、推翻、中止或停止……宪法的个人都是叛国者。”议会将叛国罪定为死罪。
