ISLAMABAD (International News): The District and Sessions Courts Islamabad have upheld the arrest warrants issued against Sohail Afridi in a case pertaining to levelling allegations against state institutions, directing authorities to arrest the accused and produce him before the court without delay.
The court maintained its earlier order and instructed the relevant law enforcement authorities to ensure the physical appearance of the accused at the next hearing. The case has been adjourned until March 9 for further proceedings.
Sohail Afridi is facing legal action over charges of making what prosecutors describe as baseless and inflammatory allegations against state institutions. The court’s decision to uphold the arrest warrants signals a firm judicial stance on ensuring the accused’s presence during trial.
Legal observers are closely following the case, which is seen as part of a broader crackdown on individuals accused of running disinformation campaigns and making unsubstantiated allegations against Pakistan’s security and state apparatus.
