Bushra Bibi’s bail in protest cases extended

RAWALPINDI(National times)- An anti-terrorism court in Rawalpindi on Tuesday extended the bail of Bushra Bibi, wife of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan, until September 16 in cases related to 26 November protest. ATC Judge Amjad Ali Shah heard bail pleas filed by the former first lady for bail in the 29 cases. Bushra Bibi was represented by her counsel Faisal Malik during the hearing. The cases were registered against her in Rawalpindi and Attock over protests. The court has also extended the bails of Naeem Panjutha and Seemabia Tahir until September 2. A day earlier, ATC Faisalabad handed jail sentences to several Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leaders and workers in connection with the attack on Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) senior leader Rana Sanaullah Khan’s residence following the arrest of former prime minister Imran Khan on May 9, 2023. The court sentenced 59 PTI leaders and workers to 10 years in prison each in the May 9 case. Senior party figures including Omar Ayub, Shibli Faraz, and Zartaj Gul were among those convicted. However, the ATC acquitted former PTI leader Fawad Chaudhry and Zain Qureshi. The court has sentenced 16 accused individuals to three years in prison each, while 34 others have been acquitted. Out of a total of 109 accused, the court has handed down sentences to 75 individuals. All verdicts were delivered in the absence of the accused. It is worth noting that four cases were registered in Faisalabad in connection with the May 9 incidents involving arson and vandalism. Verdicts in three of these cases had already been announced earlier. The fourth case, related to the attack and vandalism at Rana Sanaullah’s residence, was registered at the Samanabad Police Station and included the names of 109 individuals, among them key leaders of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI).
