Swati can face life term in controversial tweets case, says court
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) - A special court in the federal capital on Thursday issued detailed judgement in the controversial tweets case of PTI leader Azam Swati.
The judgement held Mr Swati guilty of running a malicious campaign against the state institutions through his official twitter account.
The Special Judge Central, in his six-page decision, said the PTI leader also attempted to incite the public against army officers. The decision further said the tweets shared by Mr Swati were retweeted many times by the public and he could face a minimum seven-year jail term or a maximum life imprisonment.
The judgement said as the PTI leader repeated the offence, his bail application was rejected.
