**A screenshot of a video on the PTI party's official X site shows Pakistan's former foreign minister, Shah Mehmood Qureshi, being rearrested from Adiala Jail in Rawalpindi, Pakistan, on Dec 27, 2023.**

Pakistan's former foreign minister, Shah Mahmood Qureshi, was rearrested on Wednesday and manhandled during the process shortly after being released on bail from a prison facility near the capital, Islamabad, in another case.

The 67-year-old opposition politician is the deputy chief of jailed former Prime Minister Imran Khan's opposition, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, or PTI, party. Both are being tried on charges of making public state secrets involving the United States while in power. Both denounce the trial as a politically driven smear campaign.
