    ‘I cannot sleep’; Hafeezullah Niazi tearfully appeals to court for recovery of son Hassan

    Journalist Asad Toor wrote in a post on X (formerly Twitter) on Wednesday that political analyst Hafeezullah Niazi appealed before the Supreme Court’s (SC) six-member bench for the safe recovery of his son, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) activist Hassaan Niazi.

    Hafeezullah Niazi told the apex court, “My son Hassaan Niazi has been missing from military custody since seven to eight days. I’m not even allowed to see him. I don’t know where my son is. Will I be able to sleep at night?”

    Tearfully, he told the court, “You (judges) cannot feel what I feel, I cannot sleep all night.”
    The SC directed Attorney General Mansoor Usman Awan to meet Niazi and tackle the matter of the PTI activist.

    Hassaan Niazi is also the nephew of former prime minister and founder of the PTI, Imran Khan. He has been in military custody in link with the May 9 violence in which he was filmed with the Corps Commander Lahore’s uniform, taken from Jinnah House during riots.

    Maya Ali, Ayesha Omar lash out at lawyers for beating a woman in court

    Pakistani celebrities, Maya Ali and Ayesha Omar come out in support of Laila Parveen, an activist of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) who was beaten up by lawyers in the premises of Malir courts. They expressed their anger on their Instagram handles over the unlawful act of the lawyers.

    Actress Maya Ali took to Instagram to share her anguish and requested the government and Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan to take strict action against the violators.

    Ayesha Omar also showed her annoyance over the incident by sharing a similar article that focused on the problems faced by women and wrote, “These are our courts. These are our lawyers.”

    Earlier a viral video involving a physical assault on Parveen in court angered the whole nation.

    According to Parveen, she was given a bounced cheque of Rs6.5 million by her ex-husband, Advocate Hasnain.

    She, along with her brother, appeared before the court for proceedings of the case she filed against her ex-husband. Her husband allegedly verbally and physically assaulted them along with his colleagues Advocate Shahzad Saeed and Advocate Jalbani at the court.

    On the other hand, the general secretary of the Malir district bar association, Riaz Bhatti, revealed that some lawyers allegedly tried to settle the dispute between Advocate Hasnain and Parveen but some people who were with Parveen became harsh, which resulted in a fistfight.
