Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) spokesperson Raoof Hasan has been transferred to Adiala Jail, following a 14-day judicial remand in the anti-state propaganda case. The development comes after a local court in Islamabad sent Hasan and other suspects to jail on Tuesday.
Hasan’s arrest was made on July 22 at the PTI secretariat in sector G-8 of Islamabad, based on concrete evidence that the party’s digital media center was operating as a hub for international disinformation. The raid was conducted by Islamabad police, who seized computers and records from the PTI central office, now part of the ongoing investigation.
The case against Hasan and others is related to anti-state propaganda, with allegations of spreading disinformation through digital media. The PTI spokesperson’s transfer to Adiala Jail marks a significant development in the case, as the investigation continues.
The incident has sparked a heated debate about freedom of speech and political persecution. PTI leaders have condemned Hasan’s arrest, terming it a “victimization” of political opponents. Meanwhile, the government maintains that the action was taken based on concrete evidence of anti-state activities.
As the case unfolds, attention is focused on the implications for political expression and the role of digital media in shaping public discourse.
