A shocking news has come from Pakistan. A Pakistan journalist, who was investigating claims of casualties during a protest march demanding the release of former Prime Minister Imran Khan, has been arrested.

The journalist's associate was also arrested. The most surprising part is that both have been charged with terrorism. This information was shared by their lawyer.

The journalist has been charged with terrorism.

Journalist Matiullah Jan hosts a TV show in Pakistan. He is known for criticizing the military's strong influence in Pakistan politics. Just hours before his arrest, he hosted a show in which he read hospital records that contradicted the government's denial that security forces used bullets or that any protesters were killed while dispersing the protests.

Matiullah Jan's colleague, Saqib Bashri, was also taken. Saqib said on Thursday that both were picked up by people in black uniforms from the parking lot of the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS) in Islamabad. He added that their eyes were blindfolded and they were put in a car. Saqib Bashri mentioned that they were collecting data about the casualties. However, Bashri was released on a road three hours later.

Jan's colleague, Bashri, was released.

It is reported that journalist Matiullah Jan's colleague, Bashri, was released on a street three hours later. Jan's son, Abd-ur-Razak, made a video confirming this and demanded the authorities release his father. In the entire case, Jan's lawyer, Imran Mazari, said that they have been charged with terrorism, drug trafficking, and attacking the police. There is not truth in these charges.

There was no response from the police.

Journalist Matiullah Jan's colleague, Bashri, said that Jan's family was allowed to meet him in the police lock-up on Thursday morning. Bashri also mentioned that neither the Islamabad police nor the information ministry responded to requests for comments. In his TV report, journalist Jan also expressed doubt about the claim that some security personnel were killed after being run over by a vehicle in the protesters convoy.

PTI supporters had staged a protest.

It is noteworthy that on Sunday, supporters of Imran's party, PTI, had stormed Islamabad, demanding the release of their leader. During this, four security personnel were killed. After the protest, PTI claimed that hundreds of protesters were shot, and between eight and forty people were killed. Meanwhile, the Pakistan Journalists Safety Committee has expressed serious concern over the treatment of Jan and has called for his immediate release.
