Imaan Mazari was arrested just hours after she was granted bail by Pakistani court

She was rearrested from outside of the Adiala jail in Rawalpindi.

Taking to the social media platform X, formerly Twitter, the Islamabad police confirmed Imaan's arrest. They said that the lawyer was arrested on a first information report (FIR) registered at the Bara Kahu police station under the Anti-Terrorism Act (ATA), reports The Express Tribune.

Following her arrest, digital rights activist Usama Khilji claimed that the FIR was "not shared with her [Imaan's] lawyers present" outside the jail.

He wrote on X: "Islamabad Police arrested @ImaanZHazir again, outside Adiala Jail after ATC granted bail this morning, can be seen here taking her in a Police van based on an FIR filed in Bara Kahu. FIR still not shared with her lawyers present there."

Pashtun Tahafuz Movement (PTM) leader and former lawmaker Ali Wazir and Advocate Imaan were earlier granted bail by a Pakistani court.

Both of them were arrested on August 20 after they addressed the PTM rally at Tarnol.

They were earlier booked on charges of sedition, preventing government officials from carrying out their duties and damaging public property, The Express Tribune reported.
