Given the threats to his life, he will be kept under house arrest in his farmhouse which has been turned into a sub-jail.Gen. (retd) Musharraf was produced before a judicial magistrate this morning and granted two days remand. He was formally arrested at his farmhouse on the outskirts of the federal capital shortly before 8 a.m. and brought to the court premises by the Islamabad Police
Pervez Musharraf was arrested by the authorities( in the case related to the detention of senior judges )a day after his bail extension plea was cancelled by the Islamabad High Court after which he fled from the court complex
This is the first time a military dictator has had to face the consequences of his actions. Civilian presidents and prime ministers have met with this fate more than once in the past. Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, Benazir Bhutto and Nawaz Sharif have all been imprisoned and spent time in jail.
