Pakistan Ex PM Imran Khan: 100 people have already been prosecuted in the case of attack on military bases. The conviction rate in this case is 90%. At present the SC has put a stay on the decisions of military courts.
Former Prime Minister of Pakistan Imran Khan, who is being convicted and punished swiftly by the Pakistani courts, may also be hanged. Eyewitnesses have termed 71-year-old Imran Khan as the mastermind of the attacks on military bases on May 9 last year. Due to this their problems have increased further. None of these eyewitnesses have been promised any concessions, directly or indirectly, the News18 report quoted top sources close to the Pakistani military establishment as saying.
Just before the general elections in Pakistan, on one hand Imran Khan has been jailed for a total of 34 years in four cases, on the other hand he is being established as the mastermind of conspiring against the country and attacking military establishments. Certainly this can have an impact on the elections. On May 9 last year, PTI workers had vandalized a dozen military establishments, including Jinnah House (Lahore Corps Commander’s House), Mianwali Airbase and the ISI Building in Faisalabad. Not only this, the army headquarters in Rawalpindi was also attacked.
However, Khan has been claiming that the attack on army positions was part of the London Agreement. Imran Khan has been calling the army’s attempt to bring former PM Nawaz Sharif to power once again as London Agreement. They allege that Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz chief Nawaz Sharif has the support of the powerful Pakistani army.
Let us tell you that cases have already been filed against 100 people in the case of attack on military bases. The rate of conviction of the accused in this case is 90 percent. At present, the Supreme Court has banned military courts from giving verdicts. If the military court takes action against Imran Khan in this case, then there is a high possibility that he may be sentenced to death because the history in Pakistan has been such that anyone who challenges the Pakistani army does not survive for long. Is. A person found guilty under Section 59 of the Pakistan Army Act can be sentenced to death. This section is used for civil crimes.
Sub-section 1 of Clause D of the Army Act makes this law even more dangerous. According to this, if anyone wages war against Pakistan, takes up arms or attacks security forces, then he will be prosecuted under this sub-section.
