ISLAMABAD: Maulana Abdul Aziz, the chief cleric of Lal Masjid, was acquitted from his last case on Monday by a judicial magistrate of Islamabad, Mohammad Naveed Khan.
Since 2001, 27 different cases had been registered against Maulana Aziz, and the last one was registered on April 1, 2007 by the Kohsar police.
The first of the 27 cases against Maulana Abdul Aziz and his associates was registered on September 28, 2001, for delivering fiery speeches.
Between 2001 and 2005, the police registered 10 cases of which five were registered under different sections of the Anti Terrorism Act 1997.
The remaining five were withdrawn before 2007.
However, 22 cases were later registered against the cleric between January and July, 2007.
The last case registered against the cleric stated that he had threatened shopkeepers of Aabpara and Jinnah Super for selling movies containing indecent content.
In this regard, the prosecution produced 60 witnesses against Maulana Aziz.
However, when the relevant witnesses, including the shopkeepers, were produced before the court, they disowned the prosecution’s story and claimed that Maulana Aziz had never threatened them or visited their shops.
Maulana Wajihullah advocate, counsel of Maulana Aziz, after the cleric’s acquittal told Dawn that former president General (retired) Pervez Musharraf had forced the police to register fake cases against the cleric and his family members.
