Pakistan's military sentences its former spy chief Faiz Hameed to 14 years in jail ::: First time that an ISI chief is court martialled.

The ISI chief is seen as the second most powerful position in Pakistan's military.

It is the first time that an ISI chief in Pakistan has been court martialled. His lawyer said he plans to appeal against the verdict.

The former spy chief was known to be a staunch supporter of Imran Khan, and took early retirement shortly after ex-cricketer-turned-neta was ousted in a no-confidence vote in 2022.

He has been sentenced to 14 years in prison by a military court, on charges including violation of state secrets and interfering in politics. Faiz Hameed led Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) agency from 2019 to 2021, during the tenure of now-jailed former prime minister Imran Khan.
