ATC maintains arrest warrants for Sohail Afridi, Junaid Akbar in Nov 26 protest case
Court rejects exemption pleas and orders police to submit challan against K-P CM and other accused
On November 26, 2023, an anti-terrorism court in Islamabad maintained arrest warrants for Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi, PTI lawmaker Junaid Akbar, and several other accused in connection to the November 26 protest. The court rejected exemption applications and ordered police to submit the challan against Afridi and the other accused.
Afridi, who secured protective bail from the Peshawar High Court, was again declared a proclaimed offender when he failed to appear in court. The case dates back to the protests where Islamabad Police conducted a crackdown on PTI leaders accused of violence and arson during the demonstrations.
