Sanam Javed arrested again after acquittal in FIA's case
The latest reports say that the PTI worker has been arrested by the Islamabad police as she left out from the local court following court orders for her release in the FIA's case
Islamabad: The Islamabad police on Sunday arrested Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) worker Sanam Javed.
She was arrested few minutes after her release from the case of the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) in a case. She had left the court premises as the court accepted her lawyers' plea and ordered the authorities to immediately release her.
Duty Magistrate Malik Imran had announced the reserved decision regarding Sanam Javed's remand and accepted the plea for her acquittal filed by her lawyers.
The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) arrested PTI activist Sanam Javed outside the Gujranwala Central Jail and left for an undisclosed location on Saturday.
Sanam's arrest followed her immediate release by the Lahore High Court (LHC) in connection with a May 9 riots case a day earlier.
The sources claimed that an FIA's Cyber Crimes Wing team from Islamabad and Lahore reached Gujranwala to arrest her in a case lodged with the agency.
The PTI activist has already been arrested several times in the past.
Earlier in the day, a Gujranwala Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) also issued the release orders for Sanam Javed. The court release order stated that Sanam should be released immediately. A two-member bench headed by Justice Asjad Javed Gharal issued a 14-page written decision.
In the written decision, it is said that the LHC has ordered the immediate release of Sanam Javed from jail.
