In a move that has triggered widespread condemnation, Ibtisam Hassan the man credited with helping save the life of Imran Khan during the Wazirabad attack was abducted early this morning under highly questionable circumstances.
According to reports, Hassan was taken into custody while returning from a mosque after Sehri. Eyewitness accounts describe the arrest as abrupt and lacking transparency, with no clear legal grounds presented at the time. Critics are calling it not just an arrest, but an act of intimidation designed to silence individuals associated with Imran Khan.
This development has ignited a wave of anger among political supporters and civil rights observers. Many are questioning how an individual once hailed for bravery risking his life during a violent attack can now be subjected to what they describe as an unlawful detention.
The timing and manner of the arrest have drawn particularly sharp criticism. Detaining a civilian in the pre-dawn hours, without due process or publicly stated charges, reflects what legal experts warn is a disturbing pattern of arbitrary enforcement. Such actions, they argue, strike at the very foundation of rule of law and fundamental rights.
“This is not law enforcement it is coercion. “When those who stood against violence are themselves treated as criminals, it sends a chilling message across society.”
The arrest is being condemned in the strongest possible terms by supporters and observers alike, who are demanding his immediate release. They argue that such actions not only undermine justice but also erode public trust in institutions meant to uphold the law.
