Traffic around Karachi Press Club came to a standstill on Monday amid a protest against the conviction of lawyer-activist Imaan Mazari and her husband, Advocate Hadi Ali Chattha. The couple was sentenced to a total of 17 years in prison each on Saturday under different sections in a case related to controversial social media posts. Karachi police blocked the roads leading to KPC, causing heavy traffic disruption on II Chundrigar Road and in the Saddar area, amid a protest call by the civil society. The blockade slowed traffic on II Chundrigar and surrounding Saddar streets to a crawl, with commuters reporting delays of hours.
