[Dawn] An anti-terrorism court on Saturday remanded 21 suspects in police custody in a rioting case for one week.

The police had tossed in the clink

them on Friday for allegedly staging a violent protest near Tariq Road against the arrest of retired Gen Pervez Perv Musharraf
... former dictator of Pakistain, who was less dictatorial and corrupt than any Pak civilian government to date ...
Suspects Syed Wasiuddin, Ahsan Memon, Mohammad Shahid, Mohammad Iqbal, Bilal, Khurram, Moshin and others were brought to the anti-terrorism court on Saturday for remand.

However,
ars longa, vita brevis...
after going through the documents, special public prosecutor Abdul Maroof directed the investigating officer to produce them before the court of the judicial magistrate concerned since the offences did not fall under relevant section of the Anti-Terrorism Act (ATA).

But a prosecutor at the magistrate's court also refused to produce the suspects before the court for remand and passed on the matter to his superiors.

Eventually, the suspects were produced before Judge Ghulam Mustafa Memon of the ATC-III for remand and he handed them over to the police on seven-day physical remand.
