Imaan Mazari, Husband Rearrested in New Case Hours After Supreme Court Grants Rs200,000 Bail

Summary
Imaan Mazari and Hadi Ali Chattha were arrested again on Thursday and sent to Adiala Jail on judicial remand after an Anti-Terrorism Court refused police custody in a separate Kohsar police case.
The new case accuses the couple of pushing an anti-state narrative, incitement and interference in government affairs; the ATC rejected a 30-day physical remand request, ordered medical examinations and sought reports for the next hearing.
Hours earlier, the Supreme Court had suspended their sentences in a controversial-tweets case and granted bail against surety bonds of Rs200,000 each until the Islamabad High Court rules on their appeal.
That earlier case stems from a January district court verdict sentencing both to 17 years under Pakistan's electronic crimes law, showing the Supreme Court relief did not shield them from fresh prosecution.
