An anti-terrorism court (ATC) on Wednesday convicted a man in a hate material case, sentencing him to three years in prison and imposing a fine of Rs50,000.

ATC Judge Arshad Javed announced the verdict after hearing arguments and reviewing the evidence presented by the prosecution.

The prosecution informed the court that Mohammad Zubair had links with a proscribed organisation and had been found possessing hate material.

The Counter-Terrorism Department had registered a case against the accused.
