ISLAMABAD: The Islamabad High Court (IHC) approved the bail of former lawmaker in the National Assembly Ali Wazir in a terrorism case on Wednesday and ordered him to submit a surety bond worth Rs25,000.

Justice Babar Sattar and Justice Sardar Ejaz Ishaq Khan heard the Pashtun Tahaffuz Movement (PTM) leader’s bail plea today in which the arrested politico was represented by his lawyer Attaullah Kundi.

Wazir is currently imprisoned in Rawalpindi’s Adiala Jail as he was facing a terrorism case.

The firebrand politician approached the high court after the anti-terrorism court rejected his bail petition.

The ex-MNA from South Waziristan spent years in jail as he was booked in several cases in different police stations, pertaining to delivering hate speeches against state institutions. He was released multiple times but rearrested again.
