Yet another ominous decision, with the constitution and human rights trampled.
Today, 132 days have passed since the illegal imprisonment of Chairman Tehreek-e-Insaf and former Prime Minister Imran Khan. In these 132 days, justice is being strangled by the hands of the judiciary every day. Basic human rights like freedom of expression and dissent have been taken away. The same was demonstrated by Judge Zulqarnain Abul Hasnat of the Special Court in his decision. The Special Court under the Official Secrets Act has instituted a stringent prohibition on disseminating the proceedings of the cipher case through print, electronic, and social media. Furthermore, the court has mandated punitive measures against any violators. This represents an unprecedented and disreputable decision in history.
Imran Khan's message for the nation.
The lawyers of Chairman Imran Khan shared a conversation that took place in the meeting with him yesterday. Imran Khan said, "When I was removed, there were huge celebrations in India and Israel. Nawaz Sharif made a statement in favour of India as soon as he came. All of them are afraid because their money is lying outside the country. These people are the worst examples of slavery."
The hearing of the cipher case in Adiala Jail has been postponed till Monday.

Unfortunately, due to the judge's illegal directive, the media is prohibited from reporting the cross-examination of the witnesses."
Finally, the bail application in the cipher case is set for hearing in the Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court will hear the bail application of Chairman Imran Khan in the cipher case on December 22. A new bench consisting of Justice Sardar Tariq Masood, Justice Mansoor Ali Shah and Justice Athar Minullah will hear the application.

Another historic decision of the Peshawar High Court prevented the Election Commission from taking a final decision on the "bat" symbol.
The court has also restrained the Election Commission from reaching a final decision in the election symbol case. Justice Faheem Wali inquired, "Will you present yourselves before the Election Commission on December 18?" Barrister Gohar responded, "We will appear before the Election Commission on December 18." Chief Justice Muhammad Ibrahim, during the hearing, remarked, "Elections are the nation's trust, with the administration merely issuing orders on 3 MPO." Despite orders issued for over 700 in 3 MPOs in the province, the Chief Justice questioned the possibility of transparent elections under such administration and circumstances. Can these officers fulfil their duties in such a situation? The court consolidated the election symbol case with the intra-party case and adjourned the hearing until December 19.
