PTI chief Imran Khan has condemned the arrest of party leader Shireen Mazari despite the court orders to release her.

“Strongly condemn Shireen Mazari’s arrest from outside Adiala after her release orders were issued by the court,” he said in a tweet on Tuesday. “This regime is sinking to new lows. Her health is fragile and subjecting her to this ordeal by rearresting her despite courts giving her bail is simply trying to break her spirit .”

Mazari was re-arrested on Monday after the Rawalpindi bench of the Lahore High Court granted her bail.

“Shireen won’t break as she has more courage than most people I have come across in my life. However, the country is rapidly descending towards becoming a Banana republic where might is right,” Khan said.
