Mr. Musharraf has left Pakistan to seek medical treatment in Dubai, days after the Supreme Court lifted a travel ban. His lawyers say he needs urgent spinal treatment unavailable in Pakistan.
Before he left the former president told reporters that he would return to face all pending cases against him.
“I am a commando and I love my homeland. I will come back in a few weeks or months,” he said.
Pakistan’s former military ruler Pervez Musharraf returned from self-imposed exile in 2013 to fight elections, but soon found himself fighting an array of charges relating to his time in power.
