Military courts have sentenced 60 more civilians to prison terms for their roles in violent attacks on military installations during the nationwide riots on May 9, 2023, according to a statement released by the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) on Thursday.
The latest sentences come just days after the ISPR announced that 25 civilians had been handed prison terms for their involvement in the same events.
Among those sentenced is Hasaan Niazi, the nephew of former Prime Minister Imran Khan, who has been given a 10-year sentence.
The individuals have been convicted for their involvement in violent attacks on key military and government facilities, including the Corps Commander House in Lahore, the General Headquarters (GHQ) in Rawalpindi, the ISI office in Faisalabad, and Bannu Cantt, among others, ISPR stated.
The military’s media wing further said that proceedings have been completed against nine additional accused individuals in the May 9 cases.
