The recent allegations by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) regarding the abduction and torture of Supreme Court lawyer Ali Zaman and his brother Wasim Zaman have sparked significant controversy and concern over human rights and the rule of law in Pakistan. According to Pakistan Today, PTI accused state authorities of orchestrating a 'systematic campaign of intimidation' against its members, describing the incident as a 'complete collapse of human rights.' The party claimed that the brothers were abducted from Kachehri Chowk by unidentified individuals in unmarked vehicles, held in illegal detention for several hours, and subjected to 'brutal and inhuman torture' before being released. PTI Chairman Barrister Gohar Ali Khan called the alleged abduction 'very worrying and condemnable,' urging immediate action from the Punjab government, as the incident occurred within its jurisdiction. The Tribune Latest echoed these sentiments, highlighting PTI's call for the chief justice of the Peshawar High Court to take suo motu notice of the matter, emphasizing that 'political disagreement cannot be addressed through force, handcuffs, or abductions.'
