The ruling reflects ongoing tensions in Pakistan's political landscape, particularly regarding the treatment of civilians in relation to military law.
Imran Khan's continued imprisonment and the legal battles surrounding his supporters highlight the contentious nature of Pakistan's judiciary and military relationship.
The Supreme Court's final decision on the legitimacy of military courts could significantly impact the legal landscape for civilians in Pakistan.
Continued protests from Khan's supporters may lead to further government crackdowns and legal challenges.
Pakistan's Supreme Court has ruled that military courts can try supporters of former Prime Minister Imran Khan, who have been charged with attacking military installations during riots last year. This decision allows military courts to pass sentences on 85 civilians whose trials have been completed, although the final ruling on the legitimacy of these courts is still pending. The ruling follows a significant crackdown on Khan's supporters, with thousands arrested after violent protests erupted following his arrest.
