Pakistani lawyers released and re-arrested
The Supreme Court of Pakistan has announced that it has released lawyers and human rights activists Imaan Mazari and Hadi Ali Chata on bail, after they had been detained for more than eight months. However, police have re-arrested them in a case dating back to March 2025, related to their participation in a protest in Islamabad, which they attended at the time. Authorities accused them of chanting anti-government slogans, blocking public roads, and faced charges related to terrorism and disruption. Human rights organizations such as Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch consider that their re-arrest aims to punish them for their human rights work and peaceful expression, with the legal system being used as a tool to suppress critics and activists in the country.
