IHC fixes June 1 hearing in Imaan-Hadi case

The Islamabad High Court (IHC) has fixed June 1 for hearing the sentence suspension applications filed by human rights lawyers Imaan Zainab Mazari-Hazir and Hadi Ali Chattha in the social media posts case, following directions issued earlier this month by the Supreme Court.

According to a one-page written order issued by IHC Justice Muhammad Azam Khan after last week's proceedings, a certified copy of the Supreme Court's May 12 order had been submitted before the court.

The apex court had directed the IHC to decide within two weeks on the couple's pleas seeking suspension of their sentences.
