Islamabad police have arrested renowned lawyer and activist Imaan Mazari along with her husband, citing interference in official duties.
The arrest took place following an altercation at the Zero Point Interchange, where roads had been blocked to facilitate the England cricket team’s movement to the stadium. Reports suggest that Mazari and her husband violated traffic routes, prompting police action. A case was registered against the couple for their actions at the scene.
The confrontation escalated when Mazari allegedly pushed officers and used abusive language. She and her husband were also seen removing barricades placed by traffic police.
Imaan Mazari is widely recognized for her outspoken activism against Pak Army’s enforced disappearances and violence against women. Known for her critical stance toward the military establishment, Mazari has repeatedly called out the authorities over their involvement in disappearances. Her criticism has previously resulted in arrests, reflecting the tense relationship between the activist and Paki regime.
