Pakistan: PTI Vice Chairman Detained in Adiala Jail for 15 Days

Shah Mehmood Qureshi, the Vice Chairman of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), has been detained in Adiala Jail in Rawalpindi for 15 days.
The Rawalpindi Deputy Commissioner issued directives, citing concerns that Qureshi’s release may pose a threat to peace and security.
The report mentioned that the Chief Police Officer (CPO) had proposed a 45-day detention period based on the recommendation of the relevant station house officer (SHO).
The district intelligence committee also concurred with the assessments of the police and security authorities.
Despite being granted the right to appeal, Qureshi has been detained in Adiala Jail for 15 days.
The Pakistan Supreme Court granted bail to former Prime Minister Imran Khan and ex-Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi in the cypher case, as reported by Dawn.
The court directed the PTI leaders to submit surety bonds of Pakistan Rupee (PKR) 1 million each.
The three-member bench, headed by Justice Sardar Tariq Masood and including Justices Athar Minallah and Syed Mansoor Ali Shah, issued the order based on a set of PTI petitions.
The cypher case involves a diplomatic document that the Federal Investigation Agency alleges was never returned by Imran.
The PTI contends that the document contained a threat from the United States to remove Imran as prime minister.
The Special Court (Official Secrets Act) restarted the cypher trial at Adiala district jail last week after Imran and Qureshi were indicted for the second time on December 13.
Qureshi, who was serving as the foreign minister at that time, was indicted in the case on October 23.
