Pakistan's former human rights minister Shireen Mazari's daughter arrested; family calls it 'abduction'

Islamabad, Aug 20 (PTI) Imaan Mazari, the daughter of Pakistan's former human rights minister Shireen Mazari, was arrested early on Sunday from her residence here for interference in state affairs, police said.

A Tarnol Police Station personnel said the young lawyer and activist was booked for interference in state affairs, staging a sit-in, and resistance.

Her mother Shireen Mazari, who quit the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party after spending her time in police custody following the May 9 riots, however, termed the arrest an "abduction" and said plain clothes people “took my daughter away after breaking down our front door”.
