In a shocking turn of events, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leaders Shireen Mazari and Yasmin Rashid have been taken into custody, according to an official statement released by the party on Friday.
Confirming the arrests, Shireen Mazari’s daughter, Imaan Hazir-Mazari, took to Twitter and shared a video depicting the distressing scene of unidentified men forcibly entering their residence to apprehend the former minister.
Expressing their condemnation, PTI tweeted, “Our SVP Dr Shireen Mazari is being abducted at this precise moment. Police have also entered with guns her home, reaching a new low. Extremely shameful!”
Shireen Mazari’s detention comes shortly after the arrest of PTI leader Imran Khan on May 9, intensifying concerns regarding the party’s leadership being targeted.
The PTI further revealed that Yasmin Rashid, a prominent member of the party, has also been taken into custody. The mounting arrests of PTI leaders have sparked outrage and fueled speculation about the motives behind these actions.
Authorities have previously detained several high-profile PTI figures, including Shah Mahmood Qureshi, Asad Umar, Fawad Chaudhry, Jamshed Iqbal Cheema, Falaknaz Chitrali, Musarrat Jamshed Cheema, Maleeka Bokhari, Ijaz Chaudhry, and Ali Mohammad Khan.
The Islamabad Police stated that these arrests were made in connection with inciting arson and violent protests, suggesting a deliberate plan to disrupt peace and stability. The authorities emphasize that all legal procedures have been followed in carrying out these detentions, while warning that additional arrests are anticipated.
As the political climate continues to intensify, concerns about the treatment of PTI leaders and the escalating violence remain at the forefront. The nation eagerly awaits further developments in this rapidly evolving situation.
