Fateh Khan, Fazal Ghaffar and Tajir Gul had been convicted of carrying our terror attacks in the country by military courts. “Trying civilians in military courts is lawful [in some cases] but 25 people faced military court trials when Imran Khan was the prime minister. The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief, therefore, has no moral high ground to oppose military trials now,” Rahiem said on Sunday, while speaking to The Express Tribune. He said military courts gave death sentences to three of these people while others were sentenced to 10-year to 15-year imprisonment for violating the Official Secret Act, 1923. He said the decision to hold trials of civilians in military courts has already been challenged in the Supreme Court.
