Real Reason for Pakistan's Army Chief Asim Munir pardoning : US, UK, EU criticizing Military Court Trials.

External Pressure
It’s quite clear that diplomatic pressure from countries like the U.S., the U.K. & those in the EU have influenced Pakistani establishment to reconsider certain convictions & policies. Historically, Pakistan has adjusted certain high-profile legal or security policies in response to foreign diplomatic and economic pressure. That alone confirm the convictions themselves were unjust.


Pardons Linked to International Criticism : Pakistan Army Chief Asim Munir’s decision to pardon individuals linked to the “9 May” cases came in direct response to criticism from the U.S., U.K., and EU regarding the use of military courts against civilians.

False Flag Operation Allegation : Events of “9 May” were orchestrated as a false flag operation by the Pakistani Military Establishment to undermine former Prime Minister Imran Khan’s popular support.

Lack of Due Process : Innocent civilians were imprisoned for approximately 1.5 years without due process. No detailed verdicts or legal reasoning were ever published; therefore, no avenue for appeal existed in civilian courts.
No Evidence Presented : Despite claims of “irrefutable” proofs by ISPR, no CCTV footage or other material evidence was presented in these military courts. The so-called “convictions” were primarily based on forced self-testimony under custody, with no public, transparent legal proceedings.

Closed-Door Military Trials : Proceedings were conducted secretly, without press access or public oversight. By civilian legal standards, such trials would be deemed null and void due to the absence of transparent evidentiary procedures and defence representation.

Pardon as Public-Relations Tactic : Granting pardons is seen as an attempt by Army Chief to portray the military establishment in a benevolent light, rather than an admission that the convictions were illegitimate.

Damage it has done:​

  1. Erosion of Rule of Law
    • When your country’s military courts can detain and convict civilians without transparent evidence, it undermines fundamental legal principles. Any justice system must allow defendants to challenge evidence, cross-examine witnesses, and appeal verdicts in a publicly accountable setting. The closed nature of these military proceedings violates these basic standards.
  2. International Diplomatic Pressure
    • The fact that foreign governments’ criticism prompted pardons suggests Pakistani Army is responsive to diplomatic and economic levers. This indicates that external scrutiny and pressure can influence Army’s internal decisions—but it also underscores lack of genuine institutional reform from within.
  3. Public Perception and Legitimacy
    • Declaring individuals “guilty” of acts like those alleged on 9 May without presenting verifiable evidence seriously damages Pakistan Army’s credibility. A pardon that occurs without clarifying the reasons behind the conviction, or acknowledging mistakes, is perceived as disingenuous—more of a face-saving or PR manoeuvre than an actual commitment to justice.
  4. Impact on Civilian Governance
    • Pakistan Military’s intervention in civilian legal matters indicates a power imbalance between civilian institutions (parliament, judiciary) and armed forces. When civilians are tried in military courts for essentially political offenses, it signals a weakening of civilian-led governance and democratic principles.
  5. Precedent for Future Cases
    • If no detailed verdicts or legal precedents are made available, same tactics could be employed against other political dissenters in the future. Transparency is crucial to preventing the repetition of such alleged abuses.
  6. Long-Term Consequences
    • Even though these 19 citizens were pardoned, absence of a formal exoneration, official apology, or acknowledgment of wrongdoing means their reputations and livelihoods may still suffer. They—and others in Pakistan— distrust both the military and the judicial system, fostering greater political and social unrest in the long run.

  • The real reason the Pakistani Army Chief granted pardons to the ‘9 May’ victims of false imprisonment is the direct criticism from the United States, the United Kingdom, and the European Union regarding the use of military courts for civilian trials.
  • Innocent civilians were imprisoned for 1.5 years by the Pakistan Army without due process, under the pretext of “9 May”—allegedly a false flag operation orchestrated by the military establishment to undermine the popular leader Imran Khan.
  • Not a single detailed verdict from the military court cases has ever been released, even after sentences were announced. The reason is simple: once a verdict is on paper, it can be appealed in civilian courts. They refrain from documenting the verdicts because they did not follow any standard legal procedure at all.
  • The Pakistan Army and its military courts did not adhere to proper legal processes, yet they pronounced verdicts based on self-incriminating testimony obtained under police custody, without any proof or evidence—an approach that would be considered illegal in normal courts.
  • Despite Army Chief Asim Munir claiming there was “irrefutable” evidence, no CCTV footage was ever submitted for any of the cases.
  • A legitimate court does not pass judgment solely on the accused’s forced self-testimony and the plaintiff’s accusations. The accused should have the opportunity to present a defense, which never happened. All proceedings in these military courts took place behind closed doors, without media presence, rendering the trials invalid under common Pakistani law.
  • All a judge would need to ask is, “Please present evidence that this person was involved on 9 May.” The Pakistan Army has no evidence. In other words, no evidence was ever presented in court. The burden of proof lies with the accuser, yet the Army has produced absolutely none.
  • By “forgiving” these sentences, Pakistani Army Chief Asim Munir is attempting to appear as a hero. It is a pathetic attempt and a “shitty” PR stunt, as expected from the military establishment.
