Home Former ISI chief convicted on Dec 11, appeal lodged with army chief two days ago Former Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) chief Lt Gen (retd) Faiz Hameed has challenged the 14-year sentence handed down to him by a military court and has sought a copy of the judgment, his lawyer confirmed on Monday. Advocate Mian Ali Ashfaq told The Express Tribune that the appeal was filed with the army chief two days ago, while a separate application has been submitted to the Court of Appeal’s registrar at GHQ seeking a copy of the written decision. “The appeal has already been filed,” Ashfaq said, without disclosing the specific grounds raised in the challenge. According to the military, Hameed was found guilty on December 11 by a Field General Court Martial (FGCM) on four counts — engaging in political activities, violating the Official Secrets Act “in a manner detrimental to the safety and interest of the state”, misuse of authority and government resources, and causing wrongful loss to individuals.
