“I stand with the people, and will continue to raise the voice of truth,” said Salman Akram Raja at the time of his arrest.
The PTI is holding nationwide protests against widespread rigging during the February 8 general elections.
According to PTI, the party led by Imran Khan is protesting what it describes as “unprecedented, massive, brazen rigging” that significantly reduced its victory from 180 National Assembly seats and a two-thirds majority in Parliament to half the count.
