FAISALABAD : (UrduPoint/Pakistan Point News-July 31st, 2025) An anti-terrorism court (ATC) in Faisalabad on Thursday sentenced several senior Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leaders to 10 years in prison in a case related to the May 9 riots.
According to court proceedings, PTI leaders Omar Ayub, Shibli Faraz, Zartaj Gul, and Sahibzada Hamid Raza were each handed 10-year jail terms. PTI Member of the Provincial Assembly (MPA) Junaid Afzal Sahi was sentenced to three years in prison — the shortest sentence among the convicted individuals.
The court, however, acquitted PTI leaders Fawad Chaudhry, Zain Qureshi, and Khayal Castro due to lack of evidence.
