garrison

It has a major military base in N’Djamena and smaller garrisons in the north and east.

During the court hearing, Khan told the judges he had been held in solitary confinement at a prison in the garrison city of Rawalpindi, where he is currently serving multiple prison terms.

He is being held in custody for two months, Russian news agencies cited a military garrison court as saying, but other details of the case were not reported.

The garrison was a mud-walled structure wedged between two rock formations, which created a natural barrier.

The garrison surrendered only because the men had no water and were literally dying of thirst.
