Fawad Chaudhry’s Release Approved by Supreme Court
The Supreme Court of Pakistan today approved the release of Fawad Chaudhry from prison, ending a year-long legal battle.
The former Information Minister was arrested in February 2022 on charges of contempt of court after he alleged that the Supreme Court was biased in its decision-making. He remained in prison for almost a year while his case was heard in the courts.
Today, the Supreme Court finally ruled in favour of Chaudhry, overturning the lower court’s decision and ordering his immediate release. In a statement, the court said that despite its earlier ruling, it had found that Chaudhry’s comments were not intended to be contemptuous and he had the right to freedom of speech.
The decision has been welcomed by Chaudhry’s supporters, who have long argued that he was being unfairly targeted for his criticism of the court. They have also hailed the decision as a victory for the rule of law and freedom of expression in Pakistan.
The court’s decision has also been praised by the government, with Prime Minister Imran Khan calling it a “victory for justice and democracy in Pakistan”.
It remains to be seen what impact the decision will have on Pakistan’s political landscape, but it is certainly a positive step in the right direction.
