Four "hardcore terrorists" tried by military courts were hanged on Tuesday, Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) statement said.

The suspected terrorists were involved in "committing heinous offences related to terrorism, including killing of innocent civilians, attacking armed forces of Pakistan and law enforcement agencies," ISPR said.

Details of hanged convicts
Rehman Uddin was an active member of Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and was accused of attacking armed forces of Pakistan, LEAs and killing a member of a peace committee. He was in possession of fire-arms and explosives when he was arrested. The convict admitted to offences before a magistrate and the trial court.

Mushtaq Khan was an active member of TTP. He was said to be involved in attacking LEAs, resulting in death of several soldiers. He was also in possession of fire-arms and explosives at the time of arrest. He admitted his offences before a magistrate and the trial court.

ARTICLE CONTINUES AFTER AD
Obaidur Rehman was said to be an active member of TTP who killed innocent civilians. He was also in possession of explosives when caught. The convict admitted to his offences before a magistrate and the trial court.

Zafar Iqbal was termed as an active member of TTP. He was alleged to have carried out attacks on LEAs, resulting in the death of a Junior Commissioned Officer and a soldier of Frontier Constabulary. A police assistant sub inspector and an FC soldier also sustained injuries as a result of attacks by the convict. He was also in possession of fire-arms and explosives. The convict admitted his offences before a magistrate and the trial court.

Military courts
Military courts were disbanded on January 7, 2017, after a sunset clause included in the legal provisions under which the tribunals were established, expired.

However, on March 31 President Mamnoon Hussain gave his formal assent to the Pakistan Army Act 2017 and the 23rd Constitutional Amendment Bill ─ the two pieces of legislation aimed at granting legal cover to military courts ─ after they were cleared by the parliament and senate.

The primary concern of critics was the mystery surrounding military court trials: no one knows who the convicts are, what charges have been brought against them, or what the accused's defence is against the allegations levelled.

Proponents say said the courts had acted as an "effective deterrent" for those considering violent acts.

Two hardcore terrorists hanged in Sahiwal

Last week, three hardcore terrorists tried by the military courts were executed. All three convicts, Hussan Dar, Umer Zada and Hazrat Ali were active members of TTP, also possessed explosives.

Military courts, which were established under the National Action Plan (NAP) in the wake of the horrific attack at the Army Public School in Peshawar in December 2014, handed down the death sentence to 161 terrorists before they expired on January 7. However, before last week’s executions, only 13 were hanged.
