SC orders release of Gwadar’s Haq Do Tehreek leader Maulana Hidayatur Rehman on bail
He was arrested in Gwadar on Jan 13
The Supreme Court on Thursday ordered the release of Gwadar’s Haq Do Tehreek leader Maulana Hidayatur Rehman on bail.
The chief of the Haq Do Tehreek (HDT) Maulana Hidayatur Rehman has been in detention for over three months on murder charges.
Three-judge Supreme Court bench led by Justice Sardar Tariq Masood conducted the hearing on Thursday.
The apex court approving his bail ordered the Gwadar’s Haq Do Tehreek leader to submit two surety bonds of Rs300,000.
Maulana Hidayatur Rehman was arrested in January after the authorities registered against Maulana Hidayatur Rehman and his associates in the City Police Station of Gwadar, for inciting protests against the government which led to the killing of a police constable.
Hidayutur Rehman made the headlines last year for leading a series of protests in Gwadar against illegal trawling in Gwadar’s waters, a high number of security checkpoints, and a lack of trade on the Pak-Iran border.
Gwadar’s Haq Do Tehreek leader Maulana Hidayatur Rehman is also Balochistan general secretary of Jamaat-i-Islami
