Former Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf on Monday sought presidential security to appear before a court here in a high treason case citing threats to his life.

During Monday's hearing, Musharraf's attorney, Akhtar Shah, told the Justice Yawar Ali-led two-member bench of the special court that his client would return and "appear before the court if he is given presidential level security by the Defence Ministry", reports Dawn news. "Musharraf's life is in danger... There were two attempts on his life: once in the Islamabad court and the other in Quetta during the Akbar Bugti case hearing," Shah added
