An anti-terrorism court in Peshawar has reissued arrest warrants for Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi and a PTI activist in connection with the Radio Pakistan attack case. The attack occurred during the unrest on May 9-10, 2023. Judge Wali Muhammad Khan extended interim pre-arrest bail for other PTI leaders and former provincial ministers until November 17.
The three defendants, including Afridi, appeared before the court along with their counsel. Afridi's lawyer claimed his client's whereabouts were unknown since October 11 when emergency and governor's rule were imposed. The court adjourned the hearing until November 17 to allow the defense to prepare their case. Afridi has not been seen since the imposition of emergency, and his current status remains unclear.
