Imran Khan likely to be tried in military court, says Pakistan's defence minister

The Hindu  

Pakistan’s Defence Minister Khawaja Asif has said the chances were that former prime minister Imran Khan could be tried in a military court for his alleged involvement in the May 9 incidents in which military and state installations were attacked by his party workers, according to a media report on Sunday. His remarks came days after Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah said that Mr. Khan will be tried in a military court as the former prime minister was the "architect" of the May 9 incidents. Mr. Khan’s party found itself in hot waters when protesters allegedly belonging to the party attacked civil and military properties on May 9 following the arrest of Mr. Khan in the Al-Qadir corruption case. Both the defence and interior ministers' statements hinting at Mr. Khan’s trial in a military court stem from the federal cabinet’s decision that the protesters who vandalised military installations on May 9 would be tried under the Army Act and Official Secrets Act.
