Pakistan: Pashtun Tahaffuz Movement Chief Manzoor Pashteen re-arrested
Pashtun Tahaffuz Movement (PTM) Chief Manzoor Pashteen was re-arrested on Thursday just days after he was granted post-arrest bail on Tuesday by a court in Pakistan.
According to reports, he was re-arrested soon after he was released from Adiala jail.
The PTM chief was taken into custody by the Jhelum police, who drove him away to an undisclosed location, sources told Dawn News.
Earlier, the capital police, after completing the judicial remand, presented the PTM chief before the senior civil judge, and the court, after hearing the argument, approved the post-arrest bail of Pashteen, the Pakistani newspaper reported.
The PTM chief earlier posted on X: "Despite the passage of 24 hours #ManzoorPashteen was not presented in a court of law. No one can question the unaccountable ruling junta who had established "state of exception". Abductions & enforced disappearances & are hallmarks of Pakistan. #ReleaseManzoorPashteen."
