&quot;said the military media wing. <\/p>\n<p>&quot;The charges included misuse of authority and participation in improper illegal activities of an officer,&quot; said the ISPR. <\/p>\n<p>However, the exact nature of the charges has not been specified, and it is not clear exactly what the three officers were found guilty. <\/p>\n<p>In August, the army chief, General Qamar Bajwa, ratified the life

and a civil servant from a military institution, Dr. Wasim Akram, were sentenced to death, and a retired lieutenant general was sentenced to 14 years Javed Iqbal for espionage.<\/p>\n<p>Those officers
