The undersigned organisations strongly condemn the arbitrary arrest and subsequent conviction of Pakistani human rights lawyers Imaan Zainab Mazari-Hazir and Hadi Ali Chattha and call for their immediate release and measures to ensure the conviction is set aside. This constitutes the latest escalation in a pattern of continued harassment against the couple in retaliation for the legitimate exercise of their human rights and professional functions. Imaan Zainab Mazari-Hazir is a human rights lawyer who has represented victims of enforced disappearances, extrajudicial killings, and custodial abuse, frequently challenging the legality of state practices. The couple spent the night sheltering at the Islamabad High Court Bar Association’s office before again appearing in High Court, where they were granted two-day protective bail in the newly revived cases. Although a transfer application pending before the Islamabad High Court legally deprived the Sessions Court of jurisdiction, it nevertheless proceeded to pass judgement.
