South Waziristan MNA Ali Wazir has been in custody since December 2020 after being arrested for delivering seditious speeches in Karachi. He has a similar case registered against him in Miran Shah, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

He was granted bail by the Supreme Court in November 2021 after spending more than 11 months in custody. However, his release was stalled after an anti-terrorism court requested additional verification before another arrest order was issued.

The PTM has held a sit-in before the Sindh Assembly demanding Wazir’s release on bail since February 14.
