The Islamabad High Court issued notices to the National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency on appeals filed by lawyer couple Imaan Zainab Mazari-Hazir and Hadi Ali Chattha against their conviction in the controversial tweets case under PECA. The court also sought a response on their applications for suspension of sentence and adjourned proceedings. The couple were sentenced to 17 years’ imprisonment in January, with the case drawing criticism from international rights bodies over due process and freedom of expression concerns.
