The case
The case stems from the PTI’s November 26, 2024, protest in Islamabad, when more than 10,000 party supporters entered the capital despite restrictions on public gatherings and a security lockdown. They encountered a deployment of approximately 20,000 security personnel tasked with preventing the march from moving forward.
Clashes erupted between protesters and law enforcement personnel in the capital’s Red Zone. Following a day of confrontation, the PTI leadership withdrew, and the party announced that it was suspending its planned sit-in “for the time being”.
Authorities subsequently registered cases against several PTI leaders under various provisions of the Pakistan Penal Code and Section 7 of the Anti-Terrorism Act. Two cases were lodged at Taxila police station, while Sadiqabad and Naseerabad police stations registered one case each.
Aleema Khan and 10 other individuals were nominated in the case registered at Sadiqabad police station.
