巴基斯坦反恐怖主义法院以2024年板球巡演期间涉嫌安保违规为由，判处人权律师伊曼·马扎里（Imaan Mazari）及其丈夫哈迪·阿里·查塔（Hadi Ali Chattha）各10年监禁 1。检方指控两人在2024年10月25日于伊斯兰堡零点环岛移除安全车队路障并阻碍警察执勤 1。除主要刑期外，两人还因阻碍公务及使用武力分别被追加判处1年和2年有期徒刑，该附加刑期与主刑并行执行 1。此外，每人被判处罚款20万巴基斯坦卢比，约合541英镑或723美元 1。
马扎里和查塔均否认上述指控，自称是“良心犯” 1。查塔表示：“我受到惩罚不仅因为支持妻子的工作和行动主义，还因为我们共同选择了抵抗不公正的人生道路。” 1 国际特赦组织高级区域负责人亚斯明·艾哈迈德（Yasmine Ahmed）批评此次审判不公，称这些定罪是对巴基斯坦司法制度的控诉，指出二人仅因拒绝停止无畏的人权工作以及行使言论自由和和平集会权利而成为目标 1。
这对夫妇自2024年1月23日起已被拘留，目前关押在拉瓦尔品第的阿迪亚拉监狱 1。此前，两人曾根据《预防电子犯罪法》因批评军方的社交媒体帖子被判处最高17年监禁 1。尽管最高法院于同年8月暂停了该判决的执行，但警方在释放前再次逮捕了他们 1。
A Pakistani anti-terrorism court has sentenced human rights lawyer Imaan Mazari and her husband, Hadi Ali Chattha, to 10 years in prison each on charges related to security violations during a cricket tour. 1 The verdict also imposes concurrent sentences of one year for obstruction of public duty and two years for the use of force, along with fines of 200,000 Pakistani rupees per person. 1
The prosecution alleged that the couple removed barricades for a security convoy and obstructed police officers at Zero Point in Islamabad on October 25, 2024, while the English cricket team was visiting Pakistan. 1 Both defendants denied these accusations, describing themselves as "prisoners of conscience." 1 Hadi Ali Chattha stated, “I am being punished not only for supporting my wife’s work and activism but because we have chosen together a life of resistance against injustice.” 1 Yasmine Ahmed, Amnesty International's Senior Regional Director, criticized the convictions as an indictment of Pakistan's judicial system, asserting that Mazari and Chattha were targeted solely for refusing to cease their courageous human rights work and for exercising their rights to freedom of expression and peaceful assembly. 1
This ruling follows previous legal actions against the pair, who were earlier sentenced to up to 17 years under the Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act for social media posts criticizing the military. 1 Although the Supreme Court suspended that sentence in August, the couple were re-arrested by police before they could be released. 1 Mazari and Chattha have been detained since January 23, 2024, and are currently held at Adiala Jail in Rawalpindi. 1
