May 1, 2008 · 1 Comment

The authorities constituted General Court Martial, the highest court in Air Force law, to try its personnel responsible for the assault on Bangladeshi British national Barrister Rezwan at Zia International Airport on April 14.

The military court headed by a group captain will award tough punishment to the guilty persons “on charge of irregularities and breaking discipline,” said an ISPR press release yesterday.

Immediately after the incident, the Air Force arrested the persons responsible and handed them over to the custody of law-enforcers of the Air Force.

An inquiry committee headed by a group captain has already identified the persons involved in the incident of assault by joint-force personnel and framed charges as per military law, the ISPR said.
