ISLAMABAD — The Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) in Islamabad has granted bail to an additional 40 people detained in connection with the November 26 demonstrations.

Presiding Judge Abu Al-Hassnat Muhammad Zulqurnain granted bail to the defendants on the condition that they post Rs5,000 surety bonds and be released immediately.

Lawyers Saradr Masroof, Ansar Kiani, Amna Ali, Mirza Asim Baig, and Murtza Toori represented the PTI workers throughout the hearings.

Notably, the court had allowed bail for 250 defendants the day before while rejecting 150 bail petitions.

The cases derive from events organized on November 26th, during which some demonstrators were prosecuted under anti-terrorism statutes.
