ISLAMABAD: In the court martial proceedings against Lieutenant Gen (retd) Faiz Hamid, the former head of the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), will retired army chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa be invited to appear as a defense witness? To date, the former spymaster’s legal team has disputed that a decision has been made on the case.
On August 12, 2024, Lt Gen (retd) Faiz, the former head of ISI, was taken into custody. Later, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) acknowledged that he was the target of a field general court martial (FGCM). The retired general’s trial in the military court officially started on December 10 after he was formally indicted.
