Treason in is defined thus: "Treason is making war on your own country, assisting the enemy in times of war, attacks on the person of the Sultan or making war against the Sultan, collaboration with foreign tampering/hegemony, inciting tyranny against the God-given rights of the Sharifistani people or ,in cold blood and with deliberate intent, violating regulations designed to prevent the spread of lethal and highly contagious disease."
Legal precedent
"making war on your own country" has been taken to include fighting for Kurdish militias or the Israeli Defence Force. "Making war against the Sultan" includes taking part in any armed rebellion (baghy) against the Sultan of Sharifistan. More controversially, collaboration with foreign tampering/hegemony has included prosecutions of various westernising political ideologues (as well as certain Salafi groups) and "inciting tyranny against the God-given rights of the Sharifistani people" is even used against those who want to raise the marriage age to 18.
Punishment
There is no minimum or maximum sentence, so a great deal of judicial discretion is used. After the 2nd Sharifistani Civil War, Ahmed Suleiman Muhammad Khan was controversially sentenced to two years (a relatively lenient sentence) whilst the death penalty is being sought against other Maoists.
