Musharraf unwinds, but could face court

PAKISTAN: Ousted from Pakistan’s presidency, Pervez Musharraf has been unwinding with friends and admirers and on the tennis court. He’s building a roomy farmhouse on the edge of the capital.

But his critics may not be finished with him yet: Musharraf faces an array of possible legal complaints, including treason charges, that some speculate could force him into exile.

On Tuesday, a day after he resigned as head of state and nearly nine years after he seized power in a military coup, Musharraf played tennis and relaxed with friends and family at his army-guarded residence, a supporter said.

“He was in a good mood, very relaxed,” said Tariq Azim, a former deputy minister who was among 30 supporters who gathered at the house outside the capital, Islamabad, on Wednesday.
