Detailed information:
After a coup on 12 October 1999, General Pervez Musharraf, the Chief
of Army Staff, ruled Pakistan illegally for eight years and 10
months. Parliamentary democracy in the country with its congenital
defects could not do anything to prevent the misuse of power by a
soldier; it had allowed them unwarranted powers. Like the hallmarks
of any other dictatorship, the violation of the supreme law of the
country, the constitution, started from the day of the coup continued
throughout the military dictatorship. Custodial torture, political
killings, disappearances, illegal and arbitrary detentions and
aggressive military action in Balochistan province in which the
Pakistan Air Force intensively bombarded the civilian population are
just a few instances to mention.
Musharraf gerrymandered the constitution to fit his military agenda
fueled by his incessant desire to retain power. Corruption and
nepotism was at its all time high. Those who were close to Musharraf
exploited the opportunity. Hundreds of persons lost their lives and
property. Innocent civilians faced the maximum brunt of this abuse.
Law enforcement agencies were misused to force the population into
silence. Those who tried to voice protest were muted by arbitrary use
of brute force.
Musharraf, during his tenure has personally ordered that crimes
against humanity be meted out against the people of Pakistan. He is
also responsible for the crimes committed by those who connived with
his dictatorship, and by the soldiers who acted under his command. It
is a settled rule that a dictator cannot absolve himself from his
command responsibility.
Impartial investigation precedes proper prosecution. The crimes
against humanity committed by Musharraf and his administration must
not remain a shameful blot on the history of Pakistan.
Each day that Musharraf continues in Pakistan without being forced to
account for the crimes that he and his administration committed during
his reign of terror, is an encouragement for similar elements in the
country's military. It is thus the responsibility of the current
administration of Pakistan to ensure that it does not happen. It is
equally the duty of each citizen of the country to ensure that
similar dictators are not allowed to hold the entire country at
ransom, thus ensuring a safer Pakistan for future generations. It is
also the responsibility of the world nations to ensure that Musharraf
is held accountable for the crimes that he has committed against
hundreds of citizens of Pakistan, and other states in the world.

I totally contradict on the above mentioned information. It is based on biasness. These are not facts rather the story of someone's impartiallity.
