PTI leader Shireen Mazari re-arrested outside Adiala Jail

Rawalpindi: Former Human Rights Minister and PTI leader Shireen Mazari was arrested again by the Punjab police on Monday.

Shireen Mazari was arrested as soon as she came out of Adiala jail. Her daughter Imaan Mazari was also present there who burst into tear and felt helpless when her mother was taken into custody again by the police.

This marks the fourth time she was arrested in the past 10 days, moments after her release from Adiala Jail.

Barrister Ahsan J. Pirzada, Mazari's lawyer, expressed concern about her whereabouts and highlighted the repeated arrests outside the jail premises.

PTI leader Farrukh Habib criticized the federal government for disregarding court orders and imposing a "jungle of law."

 Earlier, the Lahore High Court (LHC) Rawalpindi bench had ordered Mazari's immediate release, declaring her detention under 3MPO as illegal. Mazari's daughter, Imaan Mazari, had filed a petition against her mother's rearrest, leading to the court's decision.
