SHC annuls preventive detention order for acquitted BLA man
Karachi
December 22, 2020
The Sindh High Court (SHC) on Monday struck down the prevention detention order of a proscribed organisation’s activist who was acquitted in the Pakistan Industrial Development Corporation (PIDC) car bombing case in April this year. The high court, however, allowed the Sindh government to monitor activities of the man under the anti-terrorism law.
The order came on a petition of Aziza Naeem who challenged the detention of her son-in-law Abdul Hameed Bugti under the anti-terrorism law. She had submitted in her petition that her son-in-law remained incarcerated in prison for his alleged involvement in the PIDC car bombing case for the last 14 years and he was exonerated by the SHC on April 9 due to lack of evidence. However, the prison authorities refused to release him and first detained him under the Maintenance of Public Order and later under 11-EEE of the anti-terrorism law.
