Pakistan to modify Army Act so Kulbhushan Jadhav can appeal in civilian court
Advertisment
Amending its Army Act, Pakistan will allow Kulbhushan Jadhav the right to file an appeal in a civilian court. The case is being tried in military court and the country’s present law does not allow an appeal. However, a special amendment is being made for Kulbhushan Jadhav in compliance with the directions of the International Court of Justice. In 2017, Kulbhushan Jadhav was convicted by a Pakistani military court and sentenced to death on charges of espionage and terrorism. He was awarded punishment after a Field General Court Martial (FGCM). https://www.ptcnews.tv/jammu-and-kashmir-indian-army-foils-major-infiltration-bid-in-kupwara-video/ In March, Pakistan claimed that Kulbhushan Jadhav was arrested from Balochistan by security forces. India dismissed these claims as baseless and claimed that Jadhav, a former Indian Naval officer, was kidnapped by Pakistan's security forces when he was in Iran on a business trip. -PTC News-
