Unidentified people reportedly kidnapped Advocate Uzair Bhandari, a senior lawyer of the Supreme Court of Pakistan, in Lahore on Saturday.
Uzair Bhandari is one of the lawyers who was going to challenge the decision to try the May 9 rioters in the military courts. Also, he is considered close to former prime minister Imran Khan.
Denouncing Bhandari’s “kidnapping”, Imran Khan wrote, “Advocate Uzair Bhandari is one of the most respected senior lawyers of the Supreme Court. He held a meeting with me regarding the military courts which we will be challenging in the courts. On his way out he was abducted by those who cannot be named because they are above law. We are headed towards a full blown martial law.”
