Military trial for Pakistani ex-P.M.?

Former Pakistani prime minister Imran Khan has sued in the High Court of Islamabad to block his possible military trial. Details here. The full Supreme Court still hasn't been able to bite the bullet on whether civilians can be tried by military court absent a change in the Constitution. This is a moment of truth for Pakistan.

Human rights jurisprudence astrongly disfavors the trial of civilians by military courts.
