Pakistani anti-terrorism courts have sentenced dozens of senior members and supporters of former Prime Minister Imran Khan’s party, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), to 10 years in prison for their roles in violent protests on May 9, 2023. The convicted include prominent politicians such as Dr Yasmin Rashid and Punjab Assembly opposition leader Malik Ahmed Bachhar, while some, like Shah Mahmood Qureshi, were acquitted. The government has praised the verdicts as justice served, but PTI and human rights groups have condemned them as politically motivated and a blow to democracy. The sentences follow months of political turmoil after Khan’s ouster, with PTI vowing to challenge the rulings in higher courts. The crackdown is widely seen as part of a broader effort to suppress opposition and dissent in Pakistan.
