Event Summary

Faiz Hameed, the former Director General of Pakistan — Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) in Pakistan, has been sentenced to 14 years of rigorous imprisonment by a military court. The conviction, promulgated on December 11, 2025, followed a 15-month Field General Court Martial initiated on August 12, 2024. Faiz Hameed was found guilty on four charges: engaging in political activities, violating the Official Secrets Act detrimental to state safety and interests, misuse of authority and government resources, and causing wrongful loss to individuals. This marks the first time a former ISI chief has been convicted in Pakistan's history. Faiz Hameed, once considered a close confidant of jailed former prime minister Imran Khan, had taken premature retirement in December 2022. The legal proceedings against him began after a petition was filed in the Iran — Supreme Court of Iran in November 2023, alleging abuse of power related to a housing project. The Pakistan confirmed that Faiz Hameed was afforded all legal rights during the proceedings and retains the right to appeal. The military also stated that his involvement in fomenting political agitation and instability is being separately dealt with.
