The recent sentencing of 25 civilians by a military court in Pakistan drew sharp criticism from the US , UK and EU .

The recent military trials stem from nationwide riots that followed the May 9 arrest of former Prime Minister Imran Khan in Islamabad last year .

The military has defended the proceedings, stating that they followed due process and ensured the legal rights of the accused.

Pakistan ’s constitution and judicial system — not any foreign entity — would determine its domestic political and legal decisions.

The PTI considers the military trials part of a broader, two-year crackdown against the party after Khan was ousted via a parliamentary no-confidence vote in April 2022 .

The former prime minister himself was rearrested in August 2023 and remains jailed on charges including sedition and terrorism linked to the May 9 riots, among dozens of other cases against him.
