The Supreme Court of Pakistan has authorized military courts to issue verdicts in 85 civilian cases linked to the May 9 riots. This decision comes after a previous stay on the matter, allowing the military courts to proceed with the trials. The ruling indicates that those who cannot be released will be transferred to jails for sentencing. The court also stated that the decisions made by military courts will be subject to review by the High Court. This development marks a significant shift in the judicial handling of civilians involved in the unrest following the May 9 incidents, which were characterized by widespread protests and violence.
