All detained volunteers, including former Senator Mushtaq Ahmad, leader of the Save Gaza campaign, and his wife Humaira Tayyaba, have been released. They were arrested yesterday at Express Chowk for protesting in defiance of Section 144, which restricts gatherings. Islamabad Police confirmed their release after discussions with Jamaat-e-Islami leadership. This follows Ahmad’s previous meeting with Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi in June, which led to the conclusion of a 41-day Save Gaza sit-in in Islamabad.
