The Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Monday granted bail to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) activist Sanam Javed, preventing the Islamabad Police from arresting her in any case until Thursday.
In a brief judgment, IHC judge Miangul Hassan Aurangzeb barred Sanam from leaving Islamabad until Thursday and instructed her to remain silent.
This development comes a day after the Islamabad Police rearrested the PTI activist shortly after her release by an Islamabad court, according to her lawyer.

Sanam’s lawyer, Mian Ali Ashfaq, stated that Islamabad Police intercepted their vehicle to arrest her.
“We handed her to the police without resistance. This is what law-abiding people do,” he wrote on X.
On July 11, the Lahore High Court had discharged Sanam in a case related to the May 9 riots registered against her in Gujranwala.
Sanam challenged her physical remand in a new case from Gujranwala after bail was granted to her in all cases registered against her in Lahore.
However, she was rearrested by Islamabad Police as soon as she stepped out of the Central Jail of Gujranwala on Saturday.
