Pakistan government plans to extend the tenure of controversial special military courts established for speedy trial of terror related cases after the Peshawar School massacre in December 2014, according to a media report on Wednesday.
The military courts were initially established after the December 2014 attack on the Army Public School in Peshawar which had left 150 people, mostly children, dead.
The special military courts were set up for two years in January 2015 for the speedy trial of militants and its tenure was extended for another two years in 2017 which is set to expire on January 6.
