A court in Islamabad on Thursday sentenced 12 Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) workers to six months in prison in case relating to an unauthorised protest.

The court acquitted one PTI activist in the case.

The case was registered following a PTI protest in Islamabad on November 26, during which several workers were taken into custody.

The court convicted 12 people in light of the evidence and arguments, while acquitting one accused, giving him the benefit of the doubt.

It should be noted that the PTI had announced a protest in the federal capital on November 26, which was declared illegal by the district administration.

Despite the ban, demonstrators gathered, prompting the police to take action and make arrests.

According to the sources, lawyers for the convicted workers were considering challenging the decision in the high court.
