Malik Riaz has requested the Supreme Court to provide him security during his appearance before the bench on June 21. According to reports, Riaz submitted an application claiming that a few lawyers had threatened him during his last appearance before the bench and that he was still receiving threats. According to him, his life is in danger.
He has requested the apex court to direct its Registrar and law enforcement agencies to provide adequate security, "so that he may appear in his contempt of court case without any fear." Riaz also said that a campaign in print and electronic media had been launched against him and people from different sections of society were being provoked against him.
