      <title>PTI leader Shireen Mazari arrested for fifth time</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/30322179/pti-leader-shireen-mazari-arrested-for-fifth-time</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;PTI leader Shireen Mazari was arrested for the fifth time on Tuesday moments after a court in Gujrat ordered her release, the party claimed.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;She was apparently taken away in a Vigo without a number plate, media reported.&lt;/p&gt;

    &lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
        
    &lt;/figure&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Earlier today, Mazari was presented by the police in court in a case pertaining to inciting party supporters in Kharian on May 9—the day when PTI chief was arrested.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Mazari’s lawyer Advocate Faraz Ahmed informed Kharian Judicial Magistrate Akhtar Ali that his client never participated in any protests and cited the lack of evidence on the police’s part.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After hearing the arguments, the court directed the police to discharge the PTI leader.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Islamabad High Court (IHC) issued a notice accepting the request to make Islamabad IG Dr. Akbar Nasir a party to contempt of court in the case of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Shireen Mazari on Tuesday.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Justice Miangul Hassan Aurangzeb heard the petition filed by Imaan Mazari, daughter of Shireen Mazari to make the Islamabad IG a party to the contempt of court.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Afterward, the court approved the request and adjourned the hearing until May 25.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On Monday, PTI leader Shireen Mazari was released from Adiala Jail around 7 pm, but immediately re-arrested similar to her previous release.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The re-arrest was confirmed by her lawyer Ahsan J. Pirzada on Twitter.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He added that this was her fourth arrest in the last 10 days.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On Monday, &lt;a href="https://www.aajenglish.tv/news/30322031/lhc-orders-release-of-pti-leader-shireen-mazari"&gt;the Lahore High Court ordered her release&lt;/a&gt; but she was arrested for a fourth time as soon as she stepped out of the Adiyala prison in Rawalpindi.&lt;/p&gt;
