LAHORE: An anti-terrorism court in Lahore on Tuesday acquitted senior PTI leader Shah Mehmood Qureshi in a May 9 attacks case, awarded ten-year jail terms to Yasmin Rashid, Ejaz Chaudhry, Mian Mehmood-ur-Rasheed and Omar Sarfraz Cheema among others.
Like previous May 9 cases, Qureshi escaped sentencing after the prosecution failed to prove his presence at the crime scene and violent protests.
Meanwhile, Khadija Shah is another prominent convicted person. The ATC judge, Manzar Ali Gill, awarded her a five-year sentence.
