Islamabad court grants bail to 150 PTI workers

An anti-terrorism court (ATC) on Thursday granted bail to 150 supporters of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) who were allegedly involved in the November 26 violent protests in the federal capital.

Also, the court dismissed the bail petitions of more than 10 PTI supporters. Moreover, PTI lawyers withdrew bail applications of at least 20 party workers.

Earlier in the day, the court had reserved its judgement, but it announced it later in the day.

In another case, a court granted bail to 153 supporters and leaders of the PTI. Bail petitions of 20 others were rejected.
