Serving, ex-Pak military officers face court martial
News - Hizb ut-Tahrir

Islamabad - Two Pakistan Army officers and two former military personnel, currently being tried by a military court on charges of spying and alleged terror links, have been accused of being members of the Hizb-ut-Tahrir.

Col Shahid Bashir, another unnamed colonel, Nadeem Ahmad Shah, a former air force pilot who is now an advocate, and Awais Ali Khan, an engineer who served with the military's Air Weapons Complex, are being tried by a court-martial at Kotli in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.

BBC Urdu reported today that all four men have been accused by military authorities of being members of the Hizb-ut-Tahrir, which was proscribed by former dictator Pervez Musharraf in 2004 but the ban on it was lifted following a legal challenge in the Lahore High Court.

The accused have denied the charges and also challenged their trial by a military court.
