The Islamabad High Court has directed Shireen Mazari, a former federal minister, to seek approval from the Adiala Jail superintendent for a meeting with her daughter, Imaan Mazari, and son-in-law, Hadi Ali Chattha, who are currently incarcerated. This development follows a petition filed by Mazari, who claims that jail authorities have denied her family visitation rights without providing any written orders or reasons. According to the Tribune Latest, the couple was convicted on January 24, 2026, under the Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act 2016, for social media posts deemed 'anti-state'. The case, registered in August 2025, has been widely condemned by the legal community and civil society, with Amnesty International calling for their immediate release, citing the trial's 'unusual haste' and denial of basic legal rights (Tribune Latest, February 03, 2026).
