Senator Mushtaq’s Bail Hearing Adjourned
Justice Muhammad Asif heard the petition filed by Senator Mushtaq Ahmed and his wife, Humaira Tayyaba, and directed all parties to submit their responses by tomorrow.
Senator Mushtaq and his wife were arrested for participating in a protest held outside the Islamabad Press Club against the ongoing Israeli atrocities in Gaza.
During the hearing, the petitioners’ counsel argued that peaceful protests regularly take place outside the Islamabad Press Club. “It has been five days and our bail application hasn’t even been heard, and no order has been passed,” said the lawyer.
The court, after hearing the arguments, issued notices to the respondents and adjourned the hearing until tomorrow.
