Islamabad, Jan 20 (PTI) Two Pakistan Army officers and two former military personnel, currently being tried by a military court on charges of spying and alleged terror links, have been accused of being members of the Hizb-ut-Tahrir.
Col Shahid Bashir, another unnamed colonel, Nadeem Ahmad Shah, a former air force pilot who is now an advocate, and Awais Ali Khan, an engineer who served with the military's Air Weapons Complex, are being tried by a court-martial at Kotli in Azad Kashmir.
BBC Urdu reported today that all four men have been accused by military authorities of being members of the Hizb-ut-Tahrir, which was proscribed by former dictator Pervez Musharraf in 2004 but the ban on it was lifted following a legal challenge in the Lahore High Court.
The accused have denied the charges and also challenged their trial by a military court.
