Shah Mahmood Qureshi, the Vice Chairman of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), has once again been arrested, just after being released from Adiala Jail in Rawalpindi. The Supreme Court had granted him bail in the cipher case, but he was detained by the Rawalpindi police under Section 3 of the Maintenance of Public Order (MPO) for 15 days.
However, the detention was later canceled, only to be followed by his re-arrest in connection with an attack on the main gate of the army’s General Headquarters (GHQ) in Rawalpindi. Qureshi, who claimed innocence, was taken to the anti-terrorism court for remand. His re-arrest has sparked strong reactions from PTI members, with calls for the Supreme Court to intervene and ensure the safety of individuals. The circumstances surrounding Qureshi’s arrest have raised concerns about political victimization and the violation of legal procedures.
