The Lahore High Court has acquitted Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) activist Sanam Javed in a case related to the events of May 9.

The hearing was conducted by a two-member bench led by Justice Asjad Javed Gharal, who ruled to discharge Javed from the charges filed in Gujranwala.

Sanam Javed was initially arrested in Lahore and faced multiple cases in various cities related to the May 9 riots.

Despite several courts granting her bail, she was repeatedly detained upon release from jail or court.

During a recent appearance at the Anti-Terrorism Court in Lahore, Javed spoke informally to the media, expressing that false cases no longer troubled her.

She emphasised that the numerous charges against her and the party’s founder were politically motivated and meant to suppress their voices.

Javed confidently stated that such actions would only further expose the baseless nature of the allegations and that it was only a matter of time before they all would be released.
