Prominent Pakistani Politician and Businessman Muhammad Azam Khan Swati Arrested
Arrest Stems from Controversial Social Media Posts
Law Enforcement Cites Sedition and Incitement Charges
Pakistani authorities have arrested prominent politician and businessman Muhammad Azam Khan Swati over controversial social media posts. The arrest reportedly stems from charges of sedition and incitement.
Swati, a legislator affiliated with former Prime Minister Imran Khan's Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party, was taken into custody at his residence in Islamabad. The arrest has sparked condemnation from PTI leaders, who allege political victimization.
Law enforcement officials claim that Swati's social media posts violated Article 505 of Pakistan's penal code, which prohibits statements that incite hatred or violence. The authorities have also linked the arrest to ongoing political tensions in the country.
Swati has been a vocal critic of the current government and has openly expressed support for Khan. His arrest has raised concerns about the suppression of dissent and freedom of expression in Pakistan.
