It noted that following the passing of more than a year and multiple court orders, the federal government had not provided documents in those cases.
The court fixed Feb 20 for the next hearing in the cases, mainly opposing the death sentences issued by the military courts to complainants or their family members. The tribunal held in-camera hearings on complaints pertaining to military court prosecutions.
