An anti-terrorism court in Peshawar has reissued arrest warrants for former chief minister Sohail Afridi and a PTI activist in connection with the Radio Pakistan attack case. The incident occurred during unrest on May 9-10, 2023. Judge Wali Muhammad Khan also extended interim bail for several PTI leaders and former provincial ministers until November 17.
Afridi’s whereabouts have been unknown since the imposition of governor’s rule on October 11. The court adjourned the hearing until November 17 to allow the defense time to prepare. Afridi’s lawyer claimed his client has been taken away from the Chief Minister’s House during the imposition of emergency and governor’s rule. The prosecution has recently filed a supplementary challan, nominating Afridi and four other PTI members as accused in the case.
