From Imran Khan to Imaan Mazari, what’s wrong with our courts? What does Anti State mean?

Over the past year, Pakistan has seen a rise in controversial arrests, weak FIRs, extended remands, and harsh sentences that have raised serious questions about the justice system. In this Raftar podcast, we discuss cases involving Imran Khan, Iman Mazari, journalists, and lawyers to understand how terms like “anti-state” are being used, how FIRs are formed, why courts allow prolonged remands, and how arrests are increasingly becoming punishment. This conversation focuses on what has gone wrong inside the legal system, why these patterns are repeating, and what it means for citizens when justice turns into fear. #Raftar #RaftarPodcast #imanmazari #urdupodcast #pakistanpodcast #raftarpodcast #farhanmallick ===================== Support us by becoming a Patreon member   / raftardotcom   Also, support our casue by subscribing to our channel, sharing our content, and engaging with us.
