Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has strongly condemned the arrest of its activists SanamJaved and Alia Hamza, labeling it as yet another instance of false accusations.
In a statement on Tuesday, a PTI spokesperson expressed outrage, alleging that women are being subjected to state brutality and retaliation to appease the appointed Chief Minister. The spokesperson accused opponents of PTI of being so intimidated by the popularity of the party that they prioritize the arrest of two women activists.
Criticizing the judiciary’s silence on unjust arrests despite ordering the release of women detained for 10 months, the spokesperson raised concerns about the fairness of the legal system.
Describing the arrest of the two women by police from another city as a blatant violation of constitutional and legal principles, the spokesperson accused authorities of manipulating the law.
The spokesperson further alleged that PTI women activists’ safety is being jeopardized under the pretext of false charges against the Chief Minister.
