According to this report, the Pakistani armed forces are refusing to release to the Islamabad High Court the record of proceedings in the court-martial case of a senior air force officer. Excerpt:
The PAF officials told the court that according to the PAF Act, the record of the sentence given and the record of the charge sheet could not be provided. The petitioner's lawyer said that this had never happened before under their own law. However, the PAF officials denied that claim.
The petitioner's lawyer pleaded to the court that injustice had been committee in the case against Jawad Saeed, adding that neither he was given the lawyer of his choice, nor the record. He said that Jawad Saeed's family was also not informed.
