Summary

A summary of the key points of this story verified across multiple sources.

The US and UK have raised serious concerns regarding the military court convictions of 25 civilians associated with Imran Khan, noting the trials lack due process and transparency. The convictions stem from protests following Khan’s 2023 arrest, leading to sentences ranging from two to ten years. Human rights advocates, including the European Union, have joined in criticism. Pakistan's government remains silent on international remarks, although local media showed some public support for the military's actions. Khan's party demands civilian trials for the convicted supporters.
