I can bet my last dollar that these cases are going to fall when the sentences are appealed in the higher courts. Until now there is absolutely no info on what evidence was presented against them, what were the arguments and counter arguments. We only know of sentences. 1/n https://twitter.com/adityarajkaul/status/1347488992120356867

Clearly, the terrorists & their sponsors and supporters in the military have decided that they need to be convicted on terror finance charges to satisfy @FATFNews. Once Pakistan’s neck is out of the noose, the high courts will acquit these terrorists. 2/n

At that stage the Pakistanis will say they did everything to convict these terrorists but courts are independent in Pakistan and have acquitted them. Appeals will be filed in the Supreme Court but we know how that will turn out. Incidentally, even the conviction...3/n

On terror finance charges is the result of pressure on judges of ATCs. We don’t know how the case progressed, or the evidences presented, how watertight was the case, how long the case progressed. In Pakistan nothing is what meets the eye & there is always something rotten 4/4
