100 days since @ImaanZHazir & @AdvHadiali were sentenced. What was their crime? Tweeting? Retweeting? Is this what PECA was made for? This black law needs to be repealed, courts need to hear their appeal, & #ReleaseImaanAndHadi

پاکستان کے تمام صحافیوں کو آزادئی صحافت کے دن جہاں اپنے شھید اور تشدد اور بیروزگاری کا شکار صحافیوں کو یاد رکھنا چاہیئے وہیں آزادئی اظہارِ رائے اور جھوٹے مقدمات کا شکار صحافیوں اور کمزور طبقوں کا بھرپور دفاع کرنے والے ایڈوکیٹ ایمان مزاری اور انکے شوھر ایڈوکیٹ ھادی علی چٹھہ کی غیر قانونی اور غیر آئینی قید کے سو دن پورے ہونے پر حکومت کو آئینہ بھی دکھانا چاہئیے۔
اس دن ہم صحافیوں کو بھی عہد کرنا چاہئیے کہ ہم نے متحد ہو کر صحافت دشمنوں کا مقابلہ کرنا ہے اور اُنکا آلہ کار نہیں بننا۔

Human rights lawyers Imaan Mazari and Hadi Ali Chattha have been unjustly imprisoned for 100 days now, serving their 10-year sentence for simply posting on social media.

Their appeals at the Supreme Court and Islamabad High Court have not been heard and face inordinate delays.

Join us in demanding their release.

100 days of judicial shame!

Armed with law and with force of logic and reason @ImaanZHazir and @AdvHadiali were the beloved royal couple and armed forces of the poor and the suppressed. Their appeals against unjust and illegal convictions ought to be urgently heard by the Islamabad High Court and the Supreme Court of Pakistan. Their illegal, malafide and speedy conviction warranted legal, bonafide and speedy appellate process as well. The judges must act fast to rescue two honourable members of the bar. The least they can do is to fix the appeals and start a hearing.
The 100 days of two lawyers incarceration and judicial in-activism will always haunt the Chief Justices of the Islamabad’s high and supreme courts of Pakistan. It’s about time that the Supreme Court puts a halt to its cheap publicity seeking press releases and starts doing a job which comes with unprecedented perks and privileges.

🚨🚨
اپنے مُحسنوں ایمان مزاری اور ہادی علی چٹھہ کے جیل میں نوے روز مُکمل ہونے پر کُچھ یادیں اور باتیں تحریر کی ہیں:
“آج نوے دن ہو گئے۔ میں نے دونوں کی نہ تو آواز سنی ہے اور نہ ہی شکل دیکھی ہے۔ نہ ہی ملاقات کر سکا ہوں۔ دونوں اڈیالہ جیل میں قید تنہائی کاٹ رہے ہیں۔ ایمان مزاری خواتین کے لئے مختص حصے میں ایک چھوٹے سے سیل میں قید تنہائی گزار رہی ہے جب کہ ہادی علی چٹھہ مردانہ قیدیوں کے لئے مختص احاطہ میں ایک الگ تھلگ چھوٹے سے سیل میں قید تنہائی کاٹ رہا ہے۔
سوچتا ہوں دونوں بنیادی ضروریات سے محروم سارا وقت اپنے چھوٹے سے قید خانے کی دیواروں اور چھت ��و دیکھتے ہوئے کیا سوچتے ہوں گے؟ ہم سب کے بارے میں کیا سوچتے ہوں گے کہ ہم نے انہیں کتنے آرام سے تنہا چھوڑ دیا ہے۔ وہ دونوں سب کے لئے لڑے، بے جگری سے اور بے لوث لڑے لیکن آج یہ معاشرہ اتنا بانجھ ہے کہ ان کے لئے کہیں سے آواز نہیں آ رہی۔ وہ آواز جو ایوان ہلائے جو سب کچھ ہلائے۔”

Pls repost if you endorse the following statement prepared by civil society activists

*Demanding Justice for Adv. Imaan Mazari Hazir and Adv. Hadi Ali Chattha*

24 April 2026: We, members of the Civil Society of Pakistan, stand in unwavering support and solidarity with renowned lawyers, Adv. Imaan Mazari Hazir and Adv. Hadi Ali Chattha.

We strongly condemn the continued incarceration of both human rights lawyers. Despite urgent Petitions, 90 days have passed without court hearings or due process – after being unjustly sentenced to 17 years imprisonment and fines of Rs.36 million, following a sham trial – in violation of the Constitution, rule of law, fundamental human rights, and dignity of the legal profession.

*Human Rights, Health, Financial, Legal Implications*

Their imprisonment, including solitary confinement, has reached a critical threshold, with serious implications.

*Constitutional Violations, Unjust Punishment:* Their 17-year sentences, with huge fines on trivial charges, violate Pakistan Constitution Articles 4, 9, and 10-A, guaranteeing dignity and security of the person, due process, and right to a fair trial.

*Physical and Psychological Health:* Prolonged incarceration without due process imperils physical and psychological health, necessitating urgent medical intervention. The State’s imprisonment and separation of a married couple serves no purpose other than to inflict maximum emotional distress, violating their dignity and human rights.

*Financial Strangulation:* Imposing excessive fines, the State is effectively stripping them of their ability to sustain themselves upon their eventual release after 17 years.

*Silencing Voices of the Voiceless:* Both are renowned pillars as legal and human rights defenders – voices and bridges between the marginalized and the State.

*Grassroots Activism:* Both are at the forefront of social justice activism: protests, press conferences, media advocacy, conveying the voices of the vulnerable.

*Persecution of Rights Defenders:* Due to their brave work within the judicial system, a systematic strategy to crush the spirit of two young human rights defenders, legal professionals.

*Defending the Defenceless:* Both specialize in defending victims of *enforced disappearances* and false *blasphemy* accusations, taking cases on _pro bono_ basis to ensure legal representation.

*Breach of International Commitments:* UN Special Rapporteurs stated that charges of "cyber terrorism" are a blatant attempt to silence their professional work in Public Interest Litigation and human rights activism. Having ratified the ICCPR _(inter alia)_ Pakistan is thus in direct violation of its binding legal international commitments in this matter.

*Demands*

We call upon the Government of Pakistan and the Judiciary urgently to:
1. *Expedite Judicial Process:* We urge the judiciary to take up their Appeals and hear their cases on *merit*, releasing them on bail without further delay. *The State must not obstruct the swift dispensation of justice.*

2. *Withdraw Fabricated Charges:* The State must withdraw all "cyber terrorism" and "glorification of offense" charges under PECA 2016.

3. *Revoke Fine, Provide Compensation:* (a) Revocation of Rs.36 million fines; (b) Provision of relief and compensation for the physical and psychological trauma of their unjust incarceration.

4. *Comply with UN Obligations:* Ensure full compliance with the ICCPR and all recommendations of the UN Special Rapporteurs in this matter.

*A Plea to the Legal Community*
We commend the legal community for their strong Resolution (15 April 2026). We call upon Bar Associations and lawyers countrywide to also demonstrate solidarity and work jointly to obtain justice for their unjustly convicted, sentenced, imprisoned colleagues.
*If defenders of the law are not safe from misuse of the law, then no citizen is safe.*

ایڈوکیٹ ایمان مزاری اور ایڈوکیٹ ھادی جیسے عظیم وکلا کو ناجائز طور پر جیل میں رکھنے کا نقصان پورے معاشرے اور سینکڑوں خاندانوں کے لئیے ہوتا ہے۔

Today @ImaanZHazir @AdvHadiali 66th day of illegal incarceration bec of illegal conviction order. Now ihc cj violating all rules & due process by sitting on early hearing appeals. For Majoka & Dogar it has always been abt fulfilling vengeance agendas not justice. #ReleaseImaanAndHadi

This Eid, Imaan and Hadi were kept in jail, cut off from their loved ones, simply for standing up for vulnerable communities in Pakistan. True courage often comes at a high price. We stand with them. #ReleaseImaanAndHadi

اُسے صرف ایک ٹویٹ کرنے پرجیل میں ڈال دیا گیا۔

24 جنوری کو وکیل برائے انسانی حقوق ایمان مزاری اور اُن کے خاوند ہادی علی چٹھہ کو ٹویٹس اور ری ٹویٹس کرنے پر 17 سال قید کی سزا سُنا دی گئی۔

گرفتاری سے چند روزقبل ہم نے ایک ویڈیو ریکارڈ کی تھی جس میں وہ پیکا کے حوالے سے بات کررہی ہیں، وہی پیکا جس کے تحت انہیں جیل میں ڈالا گیا۔

سال 2026 میں پاکستان کے سائبرکرائم قانون پیکا کے 10 سال مکمل ہورہے ہیں، وہی قانون جو ہر اس شخص کو خاموش کروانے کے لیے استعمال کیا جاسکتا ہے جوبولنے کی جرات کرتا ہے۔

لاپ��ہ افراد کے بارے میں ٹویٹ؟ جیل۔ انسانی حقوق کی خلاف ورزیوں کی نشاندہی؟ جیل۔ ریاست پر تنقید؟ جیل۔

ایمان اور ہادی وہ پہلے افراد نہیں ہیں جو اس قانون کا شکار ہوئے اور نہ ہی وہ آخری ہوں گے۔

آئیے، آپ بھی ایچ آر سی پی کی مہم کا حصہ بنیں جو ایک ایسے قانون کے خلاف ہے جو آزادیٔ اظہار کو کچلتا اور اختلافِ رائے پر سزا دیتا ہے۔ دس سال کافی ہیں۔ پیکا اب ختم ہونا چاہیے۔

@AtifHussainOG @grok summarise key points

[Salahuddin Ahmed @SalAhmedPK]

Writing 1.1.2006 instead of 1.1.2016 is clerical error. Adding sum as 1000O instead of 1000 is arithmetical error. Both permitted by s.369 CrPC.

Changed reasons are not. If “steno” adds paras w/out judge noticing whilst signing; its non-application of mind & negligent misconduct

[UN Human Rights @UNHumanRights]

#Pakistan: The conviction & sentencing of Imaan Zainab Mazari-Hazir & Hadi Ali Chatha under the Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act (PECA), following fair trial concerns, is deeply disturbing.  This case highlights the danger of this law being used to suppress dissent.  We urge the Government to protect & uphold freedom of expression & the right to peaceful assembly in line with Pakistan’s int’l human rights obligations.

[Ahmad Noorani @Ahmad_Noorani]

انسانی حقوق کیلیے لڑنے والے وکیل ہادی علی چٹھہ نے اسلام آباد ہائیکورٹ کی ممبر انسپکشن ٹیم (ایم آئی ٹی) کو اسلام آباد کے بدنام زمانہ جج افضل مجوکہ کے مس کنڈکٹ کے خلاف درخواست تمام تر شواہد کے ساتھ دے دی۔

عمومی طور پر افضل مجوکہ کے حوالے سے ایم آئی ٹی غیر فعال ہی رہی ہے اور ماضی میں کرپشن اور بددیانتی کے حوالے سے تمام شواہد کے ساتھ دی گئی درخواستوں پر بھی ابھی تک کوئی کاروائی عمل میں نہیں لائی گئی۔ امید ہے کہ آخر کار لوئر جوڈیشری میں مجوکہ جیسی کالی بھیڑوں کے خلاف کاروائی کا آغاز ہو گا۔

[M. Jibran Nasir 🇵🇸 @MJibranNasir]

Judge Afzal Majoka has no jurisdiction to convict Advocates @ImaanZHazir and @AdvHadiali as he is expressly barred from pronouncing final judgement under Section 526(8) Cr.P.C. till the final disposal of the transfer application which is pending before the Islamabad High Court.

We filed this Transfer Application on behalf of Imaan and Hadi on 05.12.2025 seeking transfer of the trial from the Court of Afzal Majoka. The Application is yet to be heard and decided.

It does not matter what the findings of the judge are. It does not matter what the merits or demerits of the evidence are. Nothing matters. This act of Judge Afzal Majoka is Coram non judice. It is not a judicial order, it is a nullity, not even worth the paper it is written on.

Imaan and Hadi do not stand convicted but this trial has proved to be sham beyond any doubt and has irreparably prejudiced Imaan and Hadi's right to fair trial and thus the trial should be considered vitiated.

Whether the Judge acted out of contempt, incompetence or under duress the express and mandatory command of law was ignored. No High Court or Supreme Court can defend this even after the 27th Amendment.

Imaan and Hadi have again won in exposing the regime. Duffers remain Duffers.
