Imaan Mazari gets bail in sedition case
Meanwhile,
An anti-terrorism court in Islamabad today granted bail to human rights lawyer Imaan Zainab Mazari and Pashtun Tahafuz Movement (PTM) leader Ali Wazir. Police arrested them in a sedition case related to the controversial speech against the state institutions.
ATC Judge Abual Hasnat Zulqarnain approved post-arrest bail of Imaan Mazari and Wazir. Both will submit surety bound of Rs 30,000 each.
Last week, police arrested them and gave their physical remand to police in the sedition case.
On August 19, Islamabad police registered two FIRs against Imaan Mazari and Ali Wazir at the Tarnol police station and Counter-Terrorism Department police station.
Both were booked on the charges of sedition, preventing government officials from carrying out their duties and damaging public property.
Earlier, the anti-terrorism court in Islamabad has postponed the hearing of human rights activist Imaan Mazari’s post-arrest bail plea until August 28th.
The hearing scheduled for Saturday did not take place. The ATC duty judge Raja Jawad Abbas presided over the proceedings due to the off-day of Judge Zulqarnain Haider.
Present in court with her legal representatives, Imaan’s mother, Shireen Mazari, attended the hearing.
Imaan Mazari was sent to Adiala Jail on a 14-day judicial remand by the Islamabad ATC. This action was taken in relation to a sedition case linked to her controversial speech against state institutions.
Police arrested Imaan on August 20 following her social media post on platform X. In her post, she claimed that unidentified individuals were breaking into her residence. Ali Wazir, a Member of the National Assembly (MNA) from the Pashtun Tahafuz Movement (PTM), was also arrested.
Both individuals were charged with sedition, obstructing government officials in the performance of their duties, and causing damage to public property.
