In Pakistan, a couple of lawyers "defenders of the voiceless" persecuted by the authorities

Imaan Mazari and Hadi Ali Chattha, prominent human rights lawyers in Pakistan, were sentenced to ten years in prison for terrorism. They were accused of removing security barriers during an England cricket team's visit, a charge they deny. Amnesty International criticized the trial process, which took place inside the prison, describing it as absurd. The case is seen as an attempt to intimidate dissenters in Pakistan.
