The court has issued arrest orders for Umar Ayub and other leaders of Pakistan Tehreek-E-Insaf (PTI).
The hearing of the case against the president of the PTI, the lawyer Gohar Khan, Omar Ayub, and others for violating section 144 took place before the judicial magistrate Shahzad Khan in the district and the Court of Islamabad sessions.
During the hearing, arrest orders were issued to Omar Ayub, Aamir Dogar and Aamir Mughal due to their absence, while the request for the exemption of assistance to Shoaib Shaheen and Barrimer Gohar was granted.
The lawyer Gohar Khan submitted a request to exempted assistance during the hearing.
Applications for defense acquittal could not be heard today, which led the Court to postpone cases until April 23.
It is noteworthy that two cases have been registered against the lawyer Gohar Khan and others at Police Station I-9.
Previously, an anti-terrorist court approved the bond of 18 workers from Pakistan Tehreek-E-Insaf (PTI) that were arrested during protests on November 24 and 26, 2024, in Atock and Rawalpindi.
The court ordered its release, and after spending 92 days detained, the workers have begun to be released from the Attock, Jhelum and Adiala prisons.
Defensor lawyers Imran Abbasi and Faisal Malik argued that these individuals were arrested from their homes in unknown circumstances and had no charges against them.
They affirmed that protest is not a crime and it is a constitutional right.
The court, citing insufficient evidence, granted the bond with the condition that each detainee present guarantee bonds worth RS0.1 million.
Liberated workers include Umar Farooq, Obaidullah Khan, Zainul Abidin, Wajahat Ali, Tayyab Nasir, Khawar Ali, Murtaza Khan, Muhammad Haroon, Lala Sher, Naeem Gul and Fatah Khan.
They had been arrested by the Police of the Hassan Abdal Saddar Police Station, the Hazro Police Station and the Rawalpindi Police.
