PTI leader Sher Afzal Marwat has said that his party will continue protesting until former prime minister Imran Khan is released from jail and the “stolen mandate” is returned.

Addressing a PTI rally in Islamabad today, he urged the Supreme Court to take notice of the violation of Pakistanis’ fundamental rights under the judiciary’s watch.

Marwat said the incumbent government’s reality was “stealing prisoner no: 804’s mandate”.

“Imran Khan, Shah Mehmood Qureshi, Parvez Elahi, Bushra Bibi, Yasmin Rashid, Sanam Javed, and other PTI leaders have been unjustly jailed by the fascist regime imposed on us for the past two years,” he told the protestors.

Marwat said Imran was innocent but imprisoned for seven months, adding that the PTI founder’s only sin was chanting ‘absolutely not’ and striving for haqeeqi azaadi.

“We will continue our struggle and protest in the courts, parliament, and on the streets until Imran is released [..] and the recovery of our mandate,” the PTI leader concluded.
