An anti-terrorism court (ATC) in Islamabad on Wednesday indicted lawyer and human rights activist Imaan Mazari and her husband, Hadi Ali Chattha, in a security breach case registered at the Aabpara Police Station.
Imaan and Hadi were produced before the court via video link, where ATC Judge Tahir Abbas Sipra framed charges against the two lawyers for allegedly creating security risks by interfering in state affairs during the visit of an international cricket team in October 2024, despite objections from the defence.
During the hearing, Chattha objected that he had not yet received copies of the case documents. "I have not even received the copies yet," he told the court, arguing that the charges could not be framed until all legal requirements had been fulfilled.
Legal proceedings in the matter are set to continue as the court has summoned witnesses for the next hearing. This is a developing story and is being updated with more details as they emerge from the court.
