Pervez Musharraf's name placed on Exit Control List
ISLAMABAD: The name of Pakistan’s former President General (retd) Pervez Musharraf has been placed on the Exit Control List.
Directorate General Immigration and Passport has said that Musharraf’s name has been put on ECL and a circular has also been issued to all the exit points, including airports.
The Sindh High Court had issued directives for putting former dicator’s name on the ECL and granted him protective bail till April 19.
The Supreme Court today also directed authorities concerned to ensure the former president didn’t leave the country.
The order came as an SC bench took up high treason case against the former army chief and president of the country who ousted Nawaz Sharif's government in 1999 in a bloodless coup.
