On arrival at the Islamabad Judicial Complex, Imaan hugged her mother Shireen Mazari while Wazir was brought to the court with his face covered.
“I have gone on hunger strike,” Imaan told her mother, adding that no one asked her any questions during the investigation.
During the hearing, Imaan’s lawyer told the bench that she has been remanded into police custody for a day.
“The police have not recovered anything yet,” the lawyer said.
He contended that the human rights lawyer presented no risk of escape.
“She is here,” the lawyer argued. He further added that Imaan’s mobile phone and laptop were taken by the police.
“The question is why no evidence has been brought against Imaan Mazari yet? Why hasn’t a photogrammatic test or voice matching test been conducted yet?”
Imaan Mazari’s speech is on social media, laptop, mobile are also with police, the lawyer said.
“Two similar cases have been registered against Imaan Mazari. She is accused of benefiting anti-national elements with her speech,” the lawyer said.
“What will be gained by keeping Imaan Mazari in custody? It is not necessary for Imaan Mazari to remain in police custody. There are more than 900 named accused with Imaan.”
He remarked: “They want to declare Imaan Mazari as terrorist, but the police are forgetting that they also have mothers and sisters at home.”
Moreover, Imaan’s legal team sought permission from the ATC to meet its client saying that she had fainted yesterday, and they could not meet her at the police station.
