RAWALPINDI: Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Raheel Sharif on Thursday confirmed the death sentences of 12 'hardcore terrorists' tried by military courts, said the military's media wing in statement to the press.

The convicts were involved in "committing heinous offences relating to terrorism, including killing of civilians, attacking Armed Forces of Pakistan and Law Enforcement Agencies, destruction of schools and communication infrastructure," read the statement.

The Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) added that the convicts were tried by military courts.

• Muhammad Asif, Shahadat Hussain, and Yasin of Lashkar-i-Jhangvi were involved in attacking Law Enforcement Agencies which resulted in death of civilians
  
  
• Muhammad Tayyab of TTP was involved in attacking Armed Forces of Pakistan which resulted in death of soldiers and civilians
  
  
• Said Akbar of TTP was involved in attacking Armed Forces of Pakistan which resulted in injuries and death of soldiers
  
  
• Muhammad Ayaz of TTP was involved in attacking Armed Forces of Pakistan which resulted in death of soldier
  
  
• Barkat Ali of TTP was involved in killing of civilian and was also in possession of fire arms and explosives
  
  
• Aziz-ur-Rehman of TTP was involved in attacking Law Enforcement Agencies which resulted in death of Police Constable
  
  
• Hussan Dar of TTP was involved in killing of civilian and attacking Law Enforcement Agencies which resulted in death of Police Constables
  
  
• Ishaq of TTP was involved in attacking Armed Forces of Pakistan and Law Enforcement Agencies which resulted in death of a Junior Commissioned Officer and injuries to police constable
  
  
• Behram Sher of TTP was involved in attacking Armed Forces of Pakistan as well as destruction of a Girls Primary School which resulted in injuries and death of soldiers
  

Establishment of military courts
Political parties had unanimously agreed over the issue of setting up military courts to tackle terrorism cases in the country following the gruesome attack on the Army Public School in Peshawar in December 2014, following which the Parliament passed the 21st constitutional amendment in Jan 2015 to set up the said courts.

President Mamnoon Hussain had also promulgated an ordinance further revising the recently amended Army Act to ostensibly aid the functioning of military courts by allowing for trials in camera, i.e without the presence of the public or the media, and over video link if necessary.

The Supreme Court in a majority ruling upheld the establishment of military courts in Pakistan.

Petitions challenging the 21st amendment were dismissed in August last year in a majority 11-6 vote of the 17-member SC bench.

In a 14-3 majority vote, petitions challenging the 18th amendment were also dismissed by the bench.

In its editorials, Dawn has criticised the establishment of military courts for "simply not being compatible with a constitutional democracy."

The Nation is lucky to have a General like this.
Like in my other post I must say,
the good days of our nation have started
God Bless Pakistan

A Military General doing judicial functions is a sign of unhealthy democracy.

he is doing it under the constitutions. military courts were instituted by the government through an amendment and he is the head of the courts and gives the final go ahead.
never harmed

so nothing undemocratic. same in USA after terrorism ... special powers were given to law enforcement agencies and to the president.. democracy was

the first son of a dog beheaded soldiers including officers.. I hope he is killed slowly and I wish his execution is recorded and the video is leaked

American military courts (Guantanamo bay) handing out sentences to terrorist was failure of American democracy

 

[Green Angel]

Excellent but it's like:

Oonth kay Moo main Zeera....

Thousands of terrorist must be happy about getting Closer to departure date of General Raheel.

The job is not yet done.....

People was expecting trillion times better than this.

 

[Irfan Baloch]

There is a difference between Law enforcement agencies & military. Enforcing law within country is not the job of military. Militaries are meant to deal against external adversaries. BTW none of US law enforcing agency has power to issue death warrent.
In every healthy democracy punishments are decided through judicial process by professional judges not by professional soldiers.

you need to read the National Action plan which was passed by both houses of the state,.

you seem like a smart person who is missing the obvious. the military courts were instituted by the Government under special orders.. discussed , formulated and proposed by PM and signed off and approved by the President.


if you are still upset then bring it up in a Pakistani courts.

Indian military attacks on Indian Sikhs (holiest places) in India comes to mind, but i guess that's not the same is it now.

IMO establishment of military courts means civil judicial system of a country is incapable of deciding justice.
Anyways if this system helps in controlling terrorism then it's good for you. I have no issues with it.

you got it brother
this was the first point of discussion in both houses that the terrorists were exploiting the loopholes and slow nature of the normal civilian courts system and either escaping without charge or not even coming to the courts.
it is a patchwork if you will. not a permanent solution which will be to bring a safe environment for civilian lawyers and judges and the witnesses where they can do their work without the fear of reprisals from the terrorists


I must clarify that our civilian courts havent been completely sidelined they can still object or suspend a sentence where the judge believes that the defended didnt get the chance of a fair trial, and it has happened already.

the said terrorists in the list are those who either filmed themselves executing civilians and law enforcement personnel or have been captured after armed struggle.

Why not behead him with an unsharp short knife and record it for his companions and the families of his victims.

if we were Saudis then we would have done that
but then again if we were Saudis then we wont have had this problem since we would have demolished places like red mosque and madrassas and executed the terrorists along with their families.

but sadly we are not.
wait as some nutjobs will challenge the verdict and Asma Jahangir and Hamid Mir will cry that military courts are murdering civilians.

This sham democracy is really harming our society more than the terrorism.
KSA has a clear policy and it remains much more peaceful country than ours with their simplistic, cruel to pragmatic and quick approach...though not an ideal system but better than no system or adverse and dilatory system in our democratic country.

Democracy is a joke. Even the great greek philosophers understood this.
