That's the list of countries* that use military courts to prosecute civilians. Consider
this article. Excerpt:
The junta abolished the use of military courts against civilians in 2016, but did not make the order retroactive. The trial of Thanathorn [Juangroongruangkit] in a military court could revive the use of military courts against civilians who committed alleged crimes prior to 2016, warned the law-reform advocacy group iLaw on Sunday.
According to iLaw, at least 1,886 people have been tried in military courts since the May 2014 coup. At least 92 people have been charged with sedition while at least 1,138 have been summoned to report themselves to the National Council for Peace and Order. The four-year period since the coup has seen at least 162 people charged with lese-majeste.
