Hundreds of lawyers, rights activists and politicians detained
Police and other law-enforcement personnel launched a crackdown across the country on Sunday, apparently fearing a large-scale protest campaign against imposition of emergency. Opposition politicians, prominent lawyers and rights activists were detained in large numbers in several cities and towns of the country.
In Attock, police detained PML-N city president and UC naib nazim Dr Sheikh Waseem and city vice-president Dr Sheikh Waseem Saddique.
PML-N’s UC councilor Abid Hanif, PML-N Attock secretary information Mubaris Khan and Haji Iqbal of Jamaat-i-Islami were also arrested.
Many lawyers and political workers went underground to avoid arrest.
