Islamabad: Pakistan Saturday stopped former president Pervez Musharraf from leaving the country a day after a court ordered it.
The interior ministry issued directives to the immigration authorities to put Musharraf’s name on the Exit Control List (ECL), reported Xinhua, citing Radio Pakistan. It also sent a notification to the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA), which deals with the immigration affairs at the airports. Musharraf returned to Pakistan after over a four year self-exile and is now facing several cases including his government’s failure to provide security to former prime minister Benazir Bhutto, killed in 2007.
