PTM’s Wazir, rights activist Mazari granted bail

PESHAWAR (Pajhwok): Human rights lawyer Imaan Mazari and Pashtun Tahafuz Movement (PTM) leader Ali Wazir were granted bail in a sedition case on Monday.

Islamabad Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) Judge Abual Hasnat Zulqarnain granted bail to the two in a sedition case related to their speeches against state institutions.

Mazari and Wazir had been arrested last week and sent on physical remand after being accused of speaking against the state at a rally in Islamabad.

Their post-arrest bail came against surety bonds of Rs30,000 each. The FIR against them had been filed on the complaint of Tarnol Station House Officer (SHO) Mian Mohammad Imran.
