Sanam Javed re-arrested in terror case after release. Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf women activist Sanam Javed has been re-arrested shortly after her release in connection with a riots case.
The arrest followed an order from an anti-terrorism court (ATC) on Monday, which had directed her release about the PML-N (Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz) office arson case.
However, Javed now finds herself facing charges in another terrorism case filed at Shadman police station, though specific details of the allegations remain undisclosed by the local authorities.
This development comes at a crucial time for Javed, as she had recently been assigned election symbols, signaling her active participation in the upcoming elections where she is set to contest against PML-N leader Maryam Nawaz.
The intertwining of legal challenges with political aspirations adds a layer of complexity to Pakistan’s evolving political landscape.
The broader context reveals a persisting issue, with hundreds of PTI activists having been detained since May of the previous year.
As Sanam Javed re-arrested in terror case after release, concerns about the perceived heavy-handedness of the state in dealing with political dissent continue to surface.
