On the Sentencing of 25 Civilians in a Pakistani Military Tribunal
US Department of State
Press Statement
Office of the Spokesperson
December 23, 2024
The United States is deeply concerned that Pakistani civilians have been sentenced by a military tribunal for their involvement in protests on May 9, 2023. These military courts lack judicial independence, transparency, and due process guarantees.
The United States continues to call on Pakistani authorities to respect the right to a fair trial and due process, as enshrined in Pakistan's constitution.
