Court extends Hammad Azhar’s remand in Jinnah House case

LAHORE: An anti-terrorism court in Lahore has extended PTI leader Hammad Azhar’s judicial remand by 14 days in connection with the Jinnah House attack case. The court directed that he be produced again on November 24.

Azhar was brought before the court after his previous remand ended. The investigation officer sought a further extension, saying a supplementary remand report was being prepared, and alleged Azhar was involved in the case. The officer also said he had been declared a proclaimed offender in cases related to the May 9 events for three years.

In a separate application, Azhar asked jail authorities to provide him with a chair and table so he could write a book about his experience in custody. He also complained about cameras in his cell, saying their presence affected his privacy while bathing. Azhar said he sleeps on the floor and was not seeking a bed, but wanted a table and chair so he could write for future generations.
