A Pakistani military court has sentenced former Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) Director General Faiz Hameed to 14 years in prison after finding him guilty on four charges, including political interference and misuse of authority. The army confirmed that Hameed, detained since August 2023, was convicted following a full legal process under the Field General Court Martial. This marks the first time in Pakistan’s history that a former ISI chief has been tried and sentenced by a military court. According to the army’s statement, Hameed was charged with violating the Official Secrets Act, harming state interests, and abusing official resources. Information Minister Attaullah Tarar alleged that Hameed overstepped his authority and acted as an adviser to Imran Khan’s party, contributing to political unrest. The verdict comes amid ongoing investigations into his alleged role in the May 2023 attacks on military installations by Khan’s supporters. Neither Hameed’s family nor his lawyers have commented, and Khan’s Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party has yet to respond. Analysts say the ruling underscores the military’s enduring dominance in Pakistan’s political landscape.
