An anti-terrorism court (ATC) in Islamabad on Monday remanded Pashtun Tahafuz Movement (PTM) leader Ali Wazir and human rights lawyer Imaan Mazari into police custody for three days, rejecting the prosecution's request for a 10-day remand.
They were produced in the anti-terrorism court of Judge Abual Hasnat Zulqarnain in the federal capital today in a case pertaining to sedition, intimidation, and inciting people.
The case was registered after they delivered a controversial speech in the federal capital.
Imaan was arrested by police in the wee hours of Sunday on the charges of interference in state affairs.
The female lawyer was presented before the court after her one-day remand expired today. At the outset of the hearing, Imaan’s lawyer stated that her client was booked in two different cases of the same nature.
The police failed to recover anything in physical remand of 24 hours and now demanding a remand of 10 days of her client.
After hearing arguments, the ATC judge handed over the human rights lawyer to police on three-day physical remand.
