Advocate Hadi Ali Chattha, husband of lawyer and activist Imaan Mazari, was arrested outside a local court in Islamabad in connection with the controversial tweet case involving state and national security institutions.
The arrest was made following the issuance of an arrest warrant by Additional Sessions Judge Muhammad Afzal Majoka.
During the hearing on Wednesday, Chattha did not appear before the court. Judge Muhammad Majoka also ordered the cancellation of Chattha’s bail bonds.
“In my view, Hadi Ali Chattha did not submit the bail bonds,” the judge remarked and directed the investigation officer to arrest and present the suspect in court the following day.
When Chattha arrived at the courtroom later, the judge said that the matter would be addressed tomorrow (Thursday), and he was apprehended from outside the court’s premises.
This is a developing story and is being updated with further details.
