Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s (PTI) social media activist has gone missing in Karachi, a day after another party’s activist returned home after eight days of disappearance.
Mohammed Salman, the general secretary of PTI Sindh’s social media wing, was reported missing after attending the party’s protest against enforced disappearances outside the Karachi Press Club, reported Dawn.
The family has said they are going to file a petition before the Sindh High Court against the alleged abduction.
On Friday, PTI Chairman Imran Khan’s focal person on social media, Azhar Mashwani, returned safely home eight days after he reportedly went missing from Lahore.
Mashwani returned home a day after the Lahore High Court (LHC) ordered the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) to recover Mashwani and produce him before court on April 3.
Earlier, a court in Faisalabad sentenced a PTI social media activist, Sikander Zaman, to three-year imprisonment and imposed a heavy fine on him for criticising Pakistan Army.
Meanwhile, a court in Peshawar sentenced a PTI activist to 26 months in jail for criticising the army chief and Pakistan Army, burning the national flag, and making its video viral on social media.
The convict, who was residing in a Gulf country at the time, had recorded a video and uploaded it on social media wherein he was shown putting on fire Pakistan’s national flag and also uttering “derogatory remarks” against the Pakistan Army and the chief of army staff after the removal of former prime minister Imran Khan through a vote of no-confidence in April 2022.
The convict was arrested at the airport on his return in June 2022.
The court also imposed a fine of Rs 50,000 on him.
