Military courts hand down sentences to 25 May 9 vandals
Around a week ago, the military courts announced the conviction of 25 people. The ISPR said the nation witnessed politically-motivated incidents of vandalism and violence, and described the May 9 incidents as one of the darkest chapters in country’s history.
The May 9 incidents were a huge shock for the nation. It said the sentences had been announced after collecting irrefutable evidences against the convicts.
“These blatant acts of violence not only shocked the nation but also underscored [the] necessity of checking this unacceptable attempt of political terrorism to impose own perverted will through violence and coercion,” said the statement.
The ISPR had declared the convictions "an important milestone in dispensation of justice.” The statement added “promulgation of the sentences of remaining accused is also being done and will be announced shortly as and when the due process is complete.”
