Embattled former Pakistani military ruler Pervez Musharraf will address retired army officers tomorrow, albeit via a recorded message, his office announced tonight.
He will address retired army officers at 3 PM (local time). According to his office, Musharraf is not well enough for a live address, hence a pre-recorded message will be broadcast.
It is expected that the 70-year-old former dictator will also speak about the cases against him.
Earlier today, his official Facebook page announced that a 'peaceful protest' is being organised outside Karachi Press Club tomorrow.
Musharraf's official twitter account and his Facebook page gave a link to a media report which said the former chief will make an address tomorrow. The message on Facebook was "read and share".
Musharraf is currently in a military hospital in Rawalpindi where he was admitted on January 2 after he suffered a "heart problem" while being taken to the special court in connection with the high treason case against him.
