A major development has emerged in the ongoing investigation into the violent attack on former chief justice Qazi Faez Isa in London.
The names of 23 individuals, including prominent Pakistani figures such as Shayan Ali, Malika Bukhari, and Sadia Faheem, have been added to the passport control list (PCL), with their passports also suspended.
According to official sources, the passport control list now includes individuals implicated in the attack on Justice Isa, which took place on October 30 outside the Middle Temple, London.
The list includes high-profile names like Shayan Ali, leader of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) UK, his mother Sadaf Mumtaz Malik, and others. These individuals have been linked to the violent protest against the former chief justice, which resulted in an attack on his vehicle.
The incident occurred when Justice Isa, leaving the Middle Temple after an official engagement, was ambushed by protesters led by Ali and his mother. According to diplomatic sources, the protesters physically assaulted the car, smashing its windows and banging on its body, while the group shouted slogans and made inflammatory statements.
Witnesses said the group was incensed by a decision by the Middle Temple to invite Justice Isa to the bench, following his retirement.
Footage of the attack circulated widely on social media, where Shayan Ali was seen boasting about the attack, claiming that Justice Isa had been "caught" after allegedly attempting to flee.
In a viral video, Ali stated, "Mr. Qazi Faez Isa had lowered his head, but we caught him. His car hit a protester, and we will register a case against him and the police. One of the protestors was hit. This is a violation of human rights. We had promised to catch Justice Qazi Faez Isa, and we delivered our promise."
Aisha Ali Qureshi, another participant in the attack, echoed these sentiments, calling the former chief justice “shameless” for allegedly hiding his face. Sadia Faheem, another attacker, suggested that Isa’s actions indicated guilt, claiming, "He was hiding his face, which means he has done something wrong."
