Govt to refer Malala case to military court
ISLAMABAD: The federal government has decided to refer two high profile terror cases to military courts for the speedy trial of suspects involved.
The first case is the attack on Nobel Peace Award winner, child activist Malala Yousafzai, which would be heard at a military court in Peshawar when it formally starts functioning. “Formalities are being processed by legal experts at the Federal Law Ministry…the case will soon be sent from an anti-terrorism court to a military court,” a federal government source told Dawn.com. The Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) had attacked Malala in 2012 as she was returning from her school in the Mingora town of Swat valley. She survived after being airlifted to Britain for treatment and recovered from her life-threatening wounds.
