Member of National Assembly and Pashtun Tahafuz Movement leader Ali Wazir is expected to be freed from Karachi’s Central Jail by today evening, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.
Ali Wazir was likely to be released from prison after he was acquitted in one case and got bail in all other cases against him.
He was acquitted in one case a week ago.
It may be mentioned here that late last month, the Peshawar High Court had granted bail to Ali Wazir in a sedition case registered in Charsadda district. It also stopped the provincial police from arresting the lawmaker in other cases.
The orders were issued by two benches after hearing separate petitions of Ali Wazir, who had been behind bars since December 16 last.
Justice Ishtiaq Ibrahim of a single-member bench had granted bail to Ali Wazir in a sedition case registered at Charsadda’s Prang police station on March 2, 2020, after he addressed a public meeting by the PTM in the district.
