ISLAMABAD: Pakistan's police on Thursday said they have asked that the high-profile trial for the murder of a former minority minister be moved to a newly formed military court.
Shahbaz Bhatti was gunned down in Islamabad in March 2011 for demanding that Pakistan's controversial blasphemy law be reformed.
The murder trial has, however, been hampered by threats from extremists. Police hope that hearing the case in a closed military court will speed up the process and reduce interference from radicals.
