ATC Declares PTI’s Omar Ayub a Proclaimed Offender, Orders Passport and CNIC Blocked

The move stems from an anti-terrorism case tied to PTI’s October 4 Islamabad protest registered at Police Station Noon.

Overview

  • ATC Judge Tahir Abbas Sipra issued the proclamation in proceedings related to the October 4 protest case.
  • The court sought details of Omar Ayub’s properties as part of enforcement actions in the case.
  • Blocking of the passport and national identity card restricts travel and access to key services for the PTI leader.
  • PTI’s march toward the capital pressed for judicial independence and the release of founder Imran Khan from Adiala Jail.
  • The demonstrations saw clashes with law enforcement, use of tear gas, stone-throwing by some protesters, and over a hundred arrests including Afghan nationals.
