Pakistan’s military has declared its intention to prosecute protesters
under the jurisdiction of army laws, following recent demonstrations across
the country. The move comes as a response to the escalating unrest
witnessed during the protests, where clashes between demonstrators and
security forces have led to multiple injuries and fatalities. By invoking
army laws, the military seeks to assert its authority and maintain control
over the situation. This decision has raised concerns among human rights
organizations, as military trials often lack transparency and may
compromise due process rights. The implementation of military jurisdiction
in civilian matters has been a contentious issue in Pakistan, with critics
arguing that it undermines democratic principles and erodes the rule of law.
