The Pakistani government has reversed engines and is now not going to extend the 21st Amendment military courts to
Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) and
Gilgit-Baltistan (GB), according to
this report in
Dawn. AJK and GB are part of Pakistan but are not covered by the country's Constitution. The reason for the change in policy has not been disclosed, but according to
Dawn's account it presumably has to do with the areas' constitutional status.
