10:44Now PlayingA court in Pakistan's capital Islamabad has handed a 10-year prison sentence to two outspoken human rights lawyers: Imaan Mazari – the daughter of a former minister – rose to national prominence by taking on some of the country's most sensitive cases involving vulnrable communities and ethnic minorities. A vocal critic of Pakistan's powerful military, Mazari and her husband, fellow lawyer Hadi Ali, were sentenced on multiple charges over social media posts.

Amnesty International says the case constitutes a 'blatant abuse of the justice system'.
