Amnesty International blasts Pak military court system for sentencing Jadhav

Amnesty International has blasted Pak military court system for awarding of death sentence to Kulbhushan Jadhav, an Indian citizen, in Pakistan on charge of spying.

In a strongly worded statement, Biraj Patnaik, South Asia Director of Amnesty International said in New Delhi that military



courts are an inherently abusive system that are best left to deal with issues of military discipline, not any other crime.

Yesterday, Foreign Secretary Dr S Jaishankar summoned Pakistan High Commissioner Abdul Basit over the death sentence given by a Pakistani military court martial.
