LAHORE: The Lahore High Court (LHC) on Thursday dismissed a petition filed by Alamgir Wazir, an activist affiliated with Pashtun Tahaffuz Movement (PTM), seeking bail in the sedition case against him. Wazir was arrested in Lahore for participating in and allegedly addressing a Student Solidarity March organised in November last year. During the proceedings on Thursday, the prosecutor said audio and visual evidence looked at by investigators had positively identified the accused. “Using objectionable language against state institutions is equivalent to disrespecting the country,” the prosecutor added. We hope justice will be done even though it has already been delayed beyond all limits,” he maintained.
