Pakistan's top court upheld the 2024 ban on the PTM and its leaders, calling it lawful under anti-terrorism laws.
The Peshawar High Court has upheld Pakistan’s 2024 ban on the Pashtun Tahafuz Movement (PTM) and its leaders, including Manzoor Ahmad Pashteen, rejecting challenges that the proscription violated constitutional rights.
The court ruled the government’s actions under the Anti-Terrorism Act were lawful, dismissing claims of unfair process and lack of transparency.
Petitioners argued the movement is non-violent and inspired by Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan, but the government cited hate speech and lack of electoral registration as justification.
The court reserved its full judgment and directed petitioners to pursue statutory remedies first.
The ban, imposed before a major Pashtun Jirga, remains in effect.
