Pakistani Military Courts Sentence 25 People For 2023 Unrest
Briefly

On May 9, 2023, following the arrest of former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan in a fraud case, supporters of Khan's party attacked and damaged military installations, mosques, and government buildings in cities across Pakistan.
The military's media wing described the sentences as an "important milestone in dispensation of justice to the nation," signaling a significant stance on upholding security and order.
Khan's party has claimed the judicial process is not transparent, with up to 80 people in military custody, alleging violations of fundamental rights through military court proceedings.
While PTI campaigns against corruption and nepotism, they have faced accusations of populism, with various protests aimed at demanding the release of imprisoned supporters.
