Pakistan's parliament votes for military courts to try insurgents| Reuters
(Reuters) - Pakistan's parliament on Tuesday passed legislation allowing military courts to try insurgents, one of a raft of measures aimed at clamping down on increasingly brutal attacks after Taliban gunmen massacred 134 children last month.
This according to the news article is because Civilian courts are terrified of trying and jailing militants either [I'm supposing] because they risk being targeted for retaliation by other militants or they'll be bribed to free the accused. If that's what it will take for justice to be served then I support the vote to use military courts though there are chances they might abuse their power.
