How is carrying out rallies akin to terrorism: SC

In a case concerning the May 9 assaults, the Supreme Court granted bail to five accused on Wednesday. However, Justice Jamal Khan Mandokhail questioned how holding demonstrations could be considered terrorism.
On May 9 of last year, nationwide demonstrations broke out in response to the paramilitary Rangers’ removal of former prime minister Imran Khan from the Islamabad High Court in connection with a £190 million corruption case.
Social media was overrun with videos of looting and vandalism during the protests, including shots taken at the army’s headquarters, General Headquarters, and the apartment of the Lahore Corps Commander.
Following attacks on sites, the Rawalpindi police filed three first information reports (FIRs) in August of last year, adding section 21(1) of the Anti-Terrorism Act (ATA) to each of them.
