Human rights lawyer Imaan Zainab Mazari-Hazir, who was granted bail in a sedition case earlier today, was rearrested on Monday shortly after she was released from Adiala jail in Rawalpindi.
Islamabad police took the human rights activist into custody. She was arrested in a case registered in Barakahu police station in the federal capital.
The Mazari’s counsel in a statement said the police did not inform them about the case in which Mazari had been arrested.
The development comes after an Islamabad anti-terrorism court (ATC) on Monday granted bail to Mazari and Pashtun Tahafuz Movement (PTM) leader Ali Wazir in a sedition case related to the controversial speech against the state institutions.
