Summary of Case:	"Imran Ahmed alias Changezi was wrongly convicted on October 8, 2016 of possession of explosives. Ahmed's prosecution was based on suspicion he was an activist of the Pakistan Sunni Tehreek, and that when arrested he possessed an Awaran bomb. After his conviction by the Karachi’s anti-terrorism court (ATC) Ahmed was sentenced to 14 years of rigorous imprisonment. Ahmed appealed, arguing that he didn't possess an explosive bomb, but a hand-grenade. On July 4, 2017 the Sindh High Court set-aside Ahmed's conviction on the basis of insufficient evidence because he didn't possess the explosives the prosecution claimed, and ordered his release unless his confinement was required for another case. The appeals court criticized the police for leveling a false charge against Ahmed and his unjustified prosecution."
