ISLAMABAD: A court in Islamabad Friday remanded journalist Khalid Jameel into the custody of the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) for two days in a case registered under the Cybercrime Act.
The FIA produced Khalid Jameel in the court and sought a 10-day physical remand of the accused.
Jahangir Jadoon and Naveed Malik, lawyers for the journalist, appeared before the court and opposed the request for remand.
“Every citizen has the right to freedom of expression in Pakistan,” lawyer Naveed Malik argued before the court.
“The FIA violated its own SOPs. The Islamabad High Court’s (IHC) decision was violated with the arrest of the journalist,” he added.
“The case against him should be discharged,” he demanded.
The court reserved the decision after the arguments of the lawyers. It then pronounced the reserved verdict and remanded the journalist into the FIA’s custody for two days.
Judicial Magistrate Shabbir Bhatti heard the case.
