MARRIED LAWYERS JAILED FOR DEFENDING HUMAN RIGHTS
Write for Rights 2026: Pakistan
Human rights lawyers and married couple Imaan Mazari-Hazir (right) and Hadi Ali Chattha (left) have dedicated their careers to representing victims of state oppression, despite threats and harassment by the authorities.
On January 24, 2026, Imaan and Hadi were given long prison sentences for their posts on social media expressing solidarity with Baloch and Pashtun activists and criticizing the Pakistan military. Their conviction reflects the Pakistani authorities’ use of the justice system to crack down on freedom of expression, silencing critics and punishing lawyers to consolidate their power and control.
Call on the Prime Minister of Pakistan, Shehbaz Sharif, to immediately and unconditionally release Imaan Mazari-Hazir and Hadi Ali Chatthaand, quash their convictions, and drop any outstanding charges against them as they result solely from their activism - send your message using our email writing tool.
