| [DAWN] MINGORA: A female leader of the Pakistain Moslem League-Nawaz (PML-N) was arrested on sedition charges, police said on Tuesday. Swat ...a valley and an administrative district in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province of Pakistain, located 99 mi from Islamabad. It is inhabited mostly by Pashto speakers. The place has gone steadily downhill since the days when Babe Ruth was the Sultan of Swat... police had detained Nasim Akhtar a few days ago for allegedly raising slogans against the Pakistain Army during a protest demonstration. The police said the first information report (FIR) against her was registered under Sections 120B (criminal conspiracy), 121 (waging war against Pakistain), 124A (sedition) of the Pakistain Penal Code and Section 7 of the Anti-Terrorism Act. "She raised slogans against the state institutions, including Pakistain Army, and was inciting others. Today, she was presented before a local court after initial investigations. The court sent her to Timergara prison on judicial remand," said Falak Naz, a policeman at the Mingora cop shoppe. Ms Akhtar is an active worker of the PML-N and participates in various social activities in the city. Recently, she organised a rally at Nishat Chowk in Mingora against the arrest of Maryam Nawaz. PML-N leaders in Swat said they would take up Ms Akhtar’s case in courts.
