By RFE/RL's Radio Mashaal August 12, 2024

The former chief of Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), the military's powerful spy agency, Lieutenant-General Faiz Hameed, has been arrested and had court martial proceedings initiated against him, the military said in a statement on August 12. The statement added that Hameed's arrest was ordered by the country's Supreme Court in connection with a housing scheme scandal, and multiple violations of the Pakistan Army Act after his retirement. Hameed served as ISI chief from June 2019 through October 2021. It is a first in Pakistan's history that court martial proceedings have been initiated against a former ISI chief.
