Military courts have sentenced 25 civilians to prison terms ranging from two to 10 years for their involvement in violent attacks on military installations during nationwide riots in May 2023, according to a statement issued by the ISPR no Saturday.
The Supreme Court’s constitutional bench on December 13 conditionally allowed military courts to pronounce reserved verdicts of 85 civilians who were still in custody for their involvement in the riots.
Last week’s directives allowed military courts to pronounce verdicts, including those already acquitted, in trials that have been pending for more than a year.
