ISLAMABAD: Controversial Pakistani YouTuber Rajab Butt and TikToker Nadeem Naniwala have approached the Islamabad High Court(IHC) seeking relief from travel restrictions imposed on them.
Both social media personalities are named in multiple cases, including cybercrime, and currently face a ban on traveling abroad.
They have filed separate petitions requesting that the restrictions be lifted, citing professional difficulties caused by the ban.
According to court documents, the petitions were submitted through Barrister Raja Qadeer Janjua and Ahad Khokhar. The petitioners claim that they were unjustly placed on the travel ban list, which is negatively affecting their careers.
The petitions name the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA), Secretary Interior, and other relevant authorities as respondents, urging the court to issue orders for immediate removal of their names from the travel restriction list.
A hearing on these petitions is expected soon at the Islamabad High Court, which will determine whether the social media stars will be allowed to travel abroad and clarify the legal standing of the imposed restrictions.
