    In other videos, they could be seen vandalising army properties in different cities, including Lahore and Karachi.

    The police fired tear gas shells to disperse the demonstrators but to no avail as the law enforcers retreated.

    There are reports of PTI supporters breaking into the residence of a military officer in the cantonment area in Lahore, Dawn reported.

    Journalist Murtaza Ali Shah shared this information in a tweet, saying, “PTI supporters break into military officer’s house in Lahore Cantt.”

    He also shared a video showing a group of men, some of them with their faces partly covered, entering a gated premises with sticks. They were later seen using the sticks to hit walls, Dawn reported.

    Men in uniform could also be seen on the premise.

    Meanwhile, PTI workers from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa gathered on the streets of Lakki Marwat district under the leadership of provincial party president Muhammad Iqbal after the arrest of Khan.

    The PTI supporters resorted to burning tyres and closed down the Indus Highway.

    After Khan’s arrest, PTI had called for protests across Pakistan following which roads were blocked on the main thoroughfares in the major cities, including Karachi.

    PTI Vice Chairman Shah Mahmood Qureshi reiterated the party’s call for “peaceful protest”, following the arrest of Khan.

    In a video message shared on PTI’s Twitter habdle, Qureshi could be heard urging the people to “protest peacefully and express solidarity with PTI Chairman Imran Khan”.

    Qureshi said he was leaving for Islamabad where he had called a meeting of the PTI leadership and a six-member committee to determine the next course of action, Dawn reported.

    Qureshi said, “In my view, the plan to hold a series of rallies earlier announced by Imran Khan Sahib still holds. We have to convert them into rallies of peaceful protests.”

  • Pak high court upholds ousted PM Imran Khan’s arrest ‘Legal’

    Pak high court upholds ousted PM Imran Khan’s arrest ‘Legal’

    [ad_1]

    Islamabad: The Islamabad High Court on Tuesday night upheld the arrest of Imran Khan, saying that all legal formalities were fulfilled by the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) while carrying out the arrest of the former prime minister, dashing the hopes of his party.

    The court issued its reserved ruling, upsetting the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), which claimed the arrest was illegal and that the IHC would rule in favour of party chief Imran Khan.

    The Islamabad High Court on Tuesday summoned top officials and police officers after paramilitary Rangers dramatically arrested former Pakistan prime minister Imran Khan in a corruption case from the court premises but reserved its ruling.

    MS Education Academy

    The Islamabad High Court (IHC) Chief Justice Aamer Farooq took notice of the arrest by paramilitary Rangers when the PTI party chief was present at the court to mark his biometric attendance before the start of the hearing of a corruption case.

    Khan, 70, who travelled from Lahore to the federal capital Islamabad, was arrested after the Rangers broke open the glass window and arrested him after beating lawyers and Khan’s security staff.

    The arrest of the cricketer-turned-politician comes a day after the powerful army accused him of levelling baseless allegations against a senior officer of the spy agency ISI.

    The IHC summoned various officials and heard arguments on the merit of the arrest and if it was legal to arrest someone present inside the court.

    After hearing the case, the chief justice reserved the judgment.

    The chief justice initially ordered the interior secretary, Inspector General (IG) Police Islamabad and other officials to come and respond to the arrest within 15 minutes.

    The chief justice added that he was showing “restraint” in the matter and warned to summon the prime minister if the Islamabad police chief failed to appear.

    “Come to court and tell us why Imran has been arrested and in which case,” Justice Farooq said.

    IG Akbar Nasir Khan duly appeared before the court and said that Khan had been arrested by the NAB in a case about him and his wife, Bushra Bibi, for alleged corruption.

    Khan’s lawyer Faisal Chaudhry told the court that the PTI chief was illegally arrested when he was present inside the court to record his biometric attendance.

    Barrister Gohar Khan, another lawyer of Khan, claimed that the cricketer-turned-politician was hit by an iron rod on his head and injured his leg during the arrest.

    Khawaja Harris, Khan’s other lawyer, said that the court should take action against NAB as Khan was arrested from inside the court, a violation of the sanctity of the court.

    After hearing the lawyers, the chief justice summoned NAB officials before taking a break. When the court reconvened, Director General NAB Rawalpindi Mirza Irfan Baig appeared with Deputy Prosecutor General NAB Sardar Muzaffar Abbasi.

    Abbasi told the court that the anti-corruption watchdog was in its legal right to arrest Khan, who had failed to join the investigation in the case.

    “An accused can be arrested from any place if resistance is shown,” he said.

    Advocate Harris contended the NAB argument by saying that arrest was made in violation of the rules and the court should take action.

    “The court should annul the arrest as it is illegal and order the NBA to set Imran Khan free immediately,” he said.

    Supporters of the former prime minister stormed the Pakistan Army headquarters in the garrison city of Rawalpindi and the Corps Commander’s residence in Lahore after Khan’s dramatic arrest.

    Khan has been facing a slew of cases since his ouster through a no-trust vote in April last year. He has rejected all these cases as political victimisation by the ruling alliance.

    Currently, Khan has said he is facing over 140 cases related to terrorism, blasphemy, murder, violence, and inciting violence.

  • Imran Khan Arrested

    Imran Khan Arrested

    [ad_1]

    SRINAGAR: The drama continues in Pakistan as the former Prime Minister, Imran Khan, was caught off guard and arrested while heading to his court hearing today. The 70-year-old ex-cricket star turned politician was taken into custody by paramilitary forces at the Islamabad High Court.

    The PTI leaders claim that the police went full smash mode, breaking a glass window and forcibly dragging him outside while taking his biometric data. It gets even juicier as this all went down just one day after the army accused Khan of levelling false accusations against a top spy agency officer.

    According to a tweet by the Islamabad Police, Imran Khan has been taken into custody in relation to the Qadir Trust case. This case involves allegations that Bahria Town granted land worth millions to Al-Qadir Trust, which is owned by Mr. Khan and his wife.

    The police mentioned that the situation is currently “normal,” but the manner in which the arrest was carried out has caused many to question whether it was solely based on the merits of the case. The police also cautioned that Section 144 is in effect and violators will face consequences. Meanwhile, PTI has urged its supporters to take to the streets in protest.

    In a tweet, Pakistan’s Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah stated that Imran Khan had been issued multiple notices but failed to appear in court. Sanaullah also mentioned that the arrest was carried out by the National Accountability Bureau due to allegations of causing losses to the national treasury. Furthermore, he emphasized that no harm or violence was inflicted upon Imran Khan during the arrest.

    Imran Khan’s party tweeted a video of him hours before heading to court, in which he reiterated his accusations against Major-General Faisal Naseer, a high-ranking officer in the ISI. Khan claims that Naseer was involved in the attempted assassination against him in Wazirabad.

  • First ChatGPT arrest in China over fake train crash news

    First ChatGPT arrest in China over fake train crash news

    [ad_1]

    Beijing: Chinese police have detained a man for allegedly generating fake news of a train crash and disseminating it online using artificial intelligence technology, in what was reported to be China’s first arrest for misuse of ChatGPT.

    Police in northwestern Gansu province said in a statement on Sunday that a suspect surnamed Hong had been detained for “using artificial intelligence technology to concoct false and untrue information”.

    The case first caught the attention of the cyber division of a county police bureau when they spotted a fake news article that claimed nine people had been killed in a local train accident on April 25, the Hong Kong-based South China Morning Post reported on Monday.

    MS Education Academy

    The cybersecurity officers in Kongtong county found the article simultaneously posted by more than 20 accounts on Baijiahao, a blog-style platform run by Chinese search engine giant Baidu. The stories had received more than 15,000 clicks by the time it came to authorities’ attention, it said.

    The Gansu public security department said Hong was suspected of the crime of “picking quarrels and provoking trouble”, a charge that normally carries a maximum sentence of five years. But in cases that are deemed especially severe, offenders can be jailed for 10 years and given additional penalties, the Post reported.

    This is the first time the public has been made aware of an arrest by Chinese authorities after Beijing’s first provisions to regulate the use of “deepfake” technology officially took effect in January, it said.

    The police said they traced the origins of the article to a company owned by the suspect Hong, which operated personal media platforms registered in Shenzhen in Guangdong province in southern China.

    Some 10 days later a police team searched Hong’s home and his computer and detained him.

    The statement said Hong confessed to bypassing Baijiahao’s duplication check function to publish on multiple accounts he had acquired. He input the elements of trending social stories in China from past years into ChatGPT to quickly produce different versions of the same fake story and uploaded them to his Baijiahao accounts, it said.

    While ChatGPT is not directly available to Chinese IP addresses, Chinese users can still access its service if they have a reliable VPN connection.

    Chinese IT outlets were experimenting with their versions of the ChatGPT after Microsoft and Google announced their innovations.

    China closely monitors its social media through firewalls, especially Sina Weibo, which has over 592 million users to ensure no critical content against the ruling Communist Party of China (CPC).

    China’s top internet regulator has long voiced concern that unchecked development and use of deep synthesis technology could lead to its use in criminal activities such as online scams or defamation.

    As ChatGPT has gone viral in recent months, China’s law enforcement agencies have repeatedly voiced suspicion, and even warnings, about the technology.

    In one of the first comments on the chatbot made by the Chinese security apparatus, police in Beijing specifically warned the public in February to be wary of “rumours” generated by ChatGPT, the Post reported.

    Indian pilgrim saved after his heart stopped while performing Umrah

    Riyadh: The medical team saved the life of an Indian pilgrim who suffered a cardiac arrest while performing the rituals of Umrah in the Grand Mosque of Makkah, the Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported.

    The ambulance teams from the Saudi Red Crescent Authority in Makkah have successfully saved a man in his sixties, who experienced severe shortness of breath, resulting in a loss of consciousness.

    According to Dr Mustafa Baljoun, Director General of the Authority’s branch in Makkah, the medical command and control room received a distress call at 9:44 am on Sunday regarding a pilgrim who fainted after his heart had stopped while performing the sa’i ritual in the wheelchair tracks in the mas’a area (the area between Safa and Marwa).

    The medical teams immediately performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) on the pilgrim.

    The patient was transferred to Ajyad General Hospital, where he was convalescing in the intensive care unit.

    A similar incident occurred during the Umrah season this year.
