ISLAMABAD:

Dismissing the recommendations of the United Nations Working Group on Arbitrary Detention, Federal Minister for Law and Justice Senator Azam Nazeer Tarar on Tuesday asserted that the arrest and pending cases against PTI chief Imran Khan were strictly an internal matter of Pakistan.

Addressing concerns, the minister asserted, “Pakistan is a sovereign state, and our courts enforce the Constitution and laws, making decisions accordingly.”

Responding to the United Nations Working Group’s report, Tarar clarified that the PTI founder is in jail as a convicted prisoner.
