Imran writes to CJP for protecting Fawad's rights

Former prime minister Imran Khan has made an appeal to the country’s top judge for protecting the fundamental and constitutional rights of former federal minister Fawad Chaudhry during detention.

Feeling strong concerns for his close aide, the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chairman Imran Khan wrote a letter to the CJP for guarding his honour and dignity.

He appealed to the custodian of the Constitution to protect Fawad from 'custodial torture and mistreatment'. 

Violence against detained persons or measures against honour and dignity are a violation of Articles 9, 10A and 14 of the Constitution,  the PTI chief said. He added his party leaders Shahbaz Gill and Azam Swati were subjected to violent and inhumane treatment during detention.
