Arrest warrants for lawyer Imaan Mazari, PTM leaders

ISLAMABAD: The cou­rt of Judicial Magist­rate Mureed Abbas has issued arrest warrants for rights lawyer Imaan Mazari and Pashtun Tahaffuz Move­ment (PTM) leaders Ali Wazir and Manzoor Pash­teen due to their repeated failure to appear in a case concerning an alleged anti-state march.

The case, registered at Tarnol Police Station, accuses them of organising a protest that allegedly disrupted public order.

The court was expected to hear arguments on a plea for acquittal submitted by the accused.

How­ever, due to their absence, the session was adjourned until April 26.

The court then proceeded to issue arrest warrants to ensure their presence at the next hearing.
