More arrests expected in Pakistan

News summary

Pakistan's Information Minister Attaullah Tarar announced that more arrests are anticipated in connection with the court martial of former ISI chief General (Retd) Faiz Hameed, who was detained over allegations of land grabbing linked to a housing scam. Following Hameed's arrest, three additional retired military officers were taken into custody, with investigations suggesting a broader inquiry that could implicate various individuals compromising national security. The military's public affairs division confirmed the ongoing Field General Court Martial (FGCM) proceedings against Hameed and acknowledged that more retired officers are being investigated for actions detrimental to military discipline. Tarar emphasized the military's commitment to self-accountability and suggested that the inquiry's reach might extend beyond the military to include political figures. He criticized former Prime Minister Imran Khan for purportedly collaborating with Hameed to instigate unrest in Pakistan. The situation continues to evolve as investigations proceed.
