Relief for Families as Pakistan’s Top Court Bars Military Trials of Civilians
- By Sarah Zaman
Pakistan's Supreme Court this week declared that trying civilians in military courts is unlawful. The ruling immediately affects more than 100 people in military custody who were arrested when supporters of former Prime Minster Imran Khan stormed military installations to protest his May 9 arrest. VOA Pakistan bureau chief Sarah Zaman spoke with the father of one of the accused, who says he is encouraged by the top court’s decision. VOA footage by Naveed Nasim.
