Defiance as a profession: Pakistan's jailed lawyer Imaan Mazari

She vows not to let a prison term dealt this weekend dent her resolve either. The 32-year-old shot to prominence tackling some of the country's most sensitive topics while defending ethnic minorities, journalists facing defamation charges and clients branded blasphemers. As Mazari's reputation grew, so too did her own rap sheet, with charges including "cyber terrorism" and "hate speech". On Saturday, an Islamabad court handed her and her husband, fellow lawyer Hadi Ali Chattha, 10-year jail terms over "anti-state" social media posts.
