| ATC releases 18 people |
| 2007-07-31 |
| The Anti-Terrorism Court on Monday released 18 out of 65 people who were arrested for disturbing law and order when Lal Masjid opened for prayers on Friday. The ATC extended physical remand of 47 accused for two days and directed the investigation officer to produce them again in the court on August 1. The investigation officer told the ATC that 18 people were innocent and they were no more required in this case. The investigation officer had sought seven days physical of the 47 accused but Hashmat Habib, defence counsel, opposed the application. He said that police had implicated innocent people in the case. He requested the court to release all the accused. Habib said that police were misusing Anti-Terrorism Act and implicating innocent people in false cases under this act. |
