‘Gen Faiz Hameed may face trial under official Secrets Act,’ claims Absar Alam

Former Chairman Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (PEMRA) Absar Alam has revealed details about the possibility of an official Secrets Act trial of former spymaster General (retd) Faiz Hameed.

Absar claimed on a Samaa podcast that data containing information about journalists, politicians, bureaucrats, judges, army generals, and intelligence agencies’ sensitive information had been recovered by the Inter Service Intelligence (ISI) during a raid from General (retd) Faiz Hameed’s house.

Alam revealed that Gen Faiz was in constant contact with the Chief Minister (CM) of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), Ali Amin Gandapur, and Faiz controlled the KP province before May 9.

He added, “On May 9, allegedly, a decision was made by the Faiz network with trained attackers to assault a sensitive building full of sophisticated weapons, which ultimately failed.”

“Which serving employees constantly leaked information about the Corp Commander meeting?” Absar questioned.

“Faiz did mutiny for personal gain on May 9,” he concluded.
