islamabad: 22 August 2023: An Islamabad court on Tuesday granted a post-arrest bail to human rights lawyer Imaan Zainab Mazari-Hazir while it sent former lawmaker Ali Wazir on a 14-day judicial remand in a case of damaging state property. Wazir was arrested on Saturday, while Imaan was picked up from her home in the early hours of Sunday.

A pair of first information reports (FIR) were registered against the two at Islamabad’s Tarnol police station and Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD) police station.

The arrests were made two days after a public meeting, organised by the Pashtun Tahaffuz Move­ment (PTM). Wazir, a PTM member, and Imaan had both addressed the rally, with videos circulating on social media showed speakers critici­sing the military establis­hment over enfor­ced disappearances.
