Pak SC rules in favour of military trials of civilians
Pakistan’s Supreme Court on Wednesday ruled in favour of military trials of civilians, paving the way for trial of those involved in the May 9, 2023, riotous protests.
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) workers had resorted to violent protest against the arrest of Imran Khan, allegedly attacking military installations.
A seven-member constitutional bench of the court, led by Justice Aminuddin Khan, heard multiple intra-court appeals against the top court’s original judgment of October 2023 that ruled against the military trial of the civilians.
The case was filed after the May 9, 2023, violent protests by the PTI workers.
