An anti-terrorism court 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. The couple was produced before the court by video link.
Judge Tahir Abbas Sipra framed the charges despite objections from the defense. The charges allege that they created security risks and interfered in state affairs during an international cricket team's visit in October 2024.
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.
He argued that charges could not be framed until all legal requirements were fulfilled. Legal proceedings will continue.
The court has summoned witnesses for the next hearing.
