ISLAMABAD, Pakistan - A Pakistan court granted bail on Monday to a prominent human rights activist and a former lawmaker, their lawyer said, after they were detained for protesting against enforced disappearances.

Around 3,000 people attended the rally in the capital Islamabad, where both Mazari-Hazir and Wazir gave speeches condemning the harassment of Pashtuns and calling on state forces to end an alleged shadowy policy of secret detention. Islamabad Police said in a statement that"a case against Imaan Mazari was registered under the anti terrorism act", offering few further details.
Pakistan's Pashtun heartlands were once plagued by violence and militancy, though army operations have dramatically improved security both there and across the country in recent years.
