ISLAMABAD (Reuters) – Pakistan’s top court has ruled that military trials of civilians are unconstitutional, one of the petitioners in the case told media outside the court on Monday.
Aitzaz Ahsan, who is a prominent lawyer and former government minister, said the Supreme Court has ordered the transfer of trials of those accused of rioting following ex-premier Imran Khan’s arrest in May to civilian courts from military courts.
