Military courts to begin hearing 12 cases: DG ISPR
RAWALPINDI: The Director General Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR), Major General Asim Saleem Bajwa said that the military courts will begin hearings for 12 assigned cases. In a tweet on Saturday, Bajwa said that after scrutiny the cases were forwarded to them by the Interior Ministry which in turn was sent cases by the provincial apex committees. On February 6, Information Minister Pervaiz Rashid said that the process of establishing special courts in connection with the newly approved National Action Plan (NAP) was almost complete and they would start functioning soon. A month prior to Rashid's statement, the 21st Constitutional Amendment and Army Act Amendment 2015 were approved by the National Assembly and Senate. Lawmakers approved the two bills in Parliament to provide constitutional cover to special courts for conducting trials of suspects involved in terrorist activities.
