Pakistan: MP of Imran Khan’s party detained again in Pakistan, tweeted against military officers

MP Azam Swati is accused of using derogatory and threatening language against senior army officers.

Pakistani authorities on Sunday detained a lawmaker from Imran Khan’s Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party. The MP is accused of using derogatory and threatening language against senior army officers.

The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has detained MP Azam Swati for the second time in less than two months for tweeting against army officers. Earlier, Azam was arrested by the FIA ​​in October. The FIR was registered under the Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act 2016 (Peca) by the FIA ​​on the complaint of the government through Islamabad Cybercrime Reporting Center (CCRC) technical assistant Anisur Rehman.

The FIR states that MP Azam Swati and three other Twitter accounts (@Wolf1Ak, @HaqeeqatTV_20 and @Azaadi99) launched a campaign of scare-mongering tweets against state institutions and senior government officials with malicious intent and ulterior motives . It also includes former army chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa.

The FIR states that Azam Swati had tweeted on November 26 that he would go after a senior army officer on every platform. On November 19, a Twitter handle @Azaadi99 shared a tweet in which the generals were held responsible for the country’s destruction, and Azam Swati responded by thanking him.

The complaint states that on November 24, @HaqeeqatTV_20 tweeted about the then General Qamar Javed Bajwa and the MP replied in strong language. The FIR states that such intimidating tweets of blaming and naming were a mischievous act of insurrection to create a rift among the personnel of the armed forces to harm Pakistan.

Azam Swati was earlier arrested in October following a tweet against General Bajwa and was released on bail a week later. But he had alleged that he was stripped and tortured during his custody at the behest of senior ISI officer Major General Faisal Naseer.
