Netizens Question Pashtun MNA Ali Wazir’s ‘Illegal’ Imprisonment Despite Release Orders

Published on

Netizens on Monday questioned Member National Assembly and Pashtun Tahafuz Movement leader Ali Wazir’s imprisonment after the court had issued his release orders.

The Peshawar High Court granted bail to leader Ali Wazir in a sedition case and also stopped the provincial police from arresting the lawmaker in other cases.

Journalist Mubashir Zaidi said that “Sindh Police have detained Ali Wazir illegally since his written release orders were issued on February 9th”.


A social media user said: “Ali Wazir’s bail order has been received by the Sindh Home Department on February 9, due to which they cannot keep Ali Wazir for a minute in Karachi. Seems that they are waiting for #HajiSaab, if PM, Speaker of NA are so helpless then don’t make joker of civilian govt.”


Former senator Afrasiab Khattak said the “Court order of Ali’s release after his bail went from DIK, KP. His lawyers have been visiting the Sindh home dep on daily basis where they face excuses such as “only the home secretary can open the letter and he is busy”. Yes going yet again to the court is the final option.”
