ISLAMABAD: A Pakistani court on Saturday sentenced human rights lawyer Imaan Zainab Mazari-Hazir and her husband, Hadi Ali Chattha, to a cumulative 17 years in prison over social media posts, ruling that their online activity crossed the lawful limits of dissent and amounted to an “anti-state narrative” under the country’s cybercrime law. The ruling follows the couple’s arrest a day earlier while they were on their way to a court appearance, after which they were remanded to two weeks in judicial custody.
