Imaan Mazari, husband granted bail as IHC turns down physical remand in ‘terrorism’ case

Islamabad: An Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) in the federal capital granted bail to human rights lawyer Imaan Zainab Mazari-Hazir and her husband Hadi Ali on a bail bond of Rs20,000 on Thursday.

The Islamabad police arrested the couple for allegedly creating a security risk during the England cricket team’s visit by removing road barriers.

A video, shared on social media on October 25, purportedly showed Imaan and Ali moving road barriers to clear the path for traffic.

Earlier today, the Islamabad High Court (IHC) struck down the three-day physical remand handed down by ATC on Tuesday. It also ordered the duo to be sent to jail on a 14-day judicial remand.
