An anti-terrorism court (ATC) in Islamabad on Thursday extended the interim bail of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leaders in more than 230 cases related to the November 26 Sangjani rally, protests outside the Supreme Court, and other demonstrations.
ATC Judge Abul Hasnat Muhammad Zulqarnain, who heard the case, also ordered authorities not to arrest the PTI leaders until May 21.
PTI leaders, including Umer Niazi, Raoof Hasan and Azam Swati appeared before the court. The court directed both sides to present arguments at the next hearing. Multiple cases have been registered against the PTI leaders at Tarnol, Ramna, Aabpara and Secretariat police stations, among others.
