An Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) in Islamabad granted police a 15-day physical remand for Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (JUI-F) Islamabad Ameer Mufti Awais Aziz on Wednesday, in a terrorism-related case. Aziz was arrested on November 10. Aziz's counsel, Senator Kamran Murtaza, appeared before ATC Judge Abul Hasanat Muhammad Zulqarnain. Police presented the case, with prosecutor Raja Naveed Hussain requesting a 30-day remand, claiming Aziz incited people to block the GT Road during a public meeting, and confined individuals, causing public fear.
The defense countered, arguing the terrorism charges were against patriotic citizens and questioning the absence of any broken straw or statements from those allegedly confined. They questioned the lack of evidence for damage to a government vehicle. Murtaza highlighted that a prayer leader and Quran teacher had been labeled a terrorist. After weighing both sides, the court granted a 15-day physical remand to the police.
