#FreeJulie Trend And Protests Pay Off As Trans Activist Is Released From Custody
Justice Prevails For Julie!

There is finally some good news for everyone who has been keeping a keen eye on Julie's issue. The social media sensation and trans activist has been released from police custody and social media is absolutely elated.
Julie is a transgender activist in Pakistan who is at the forefront of fighting for equal rights for her community. The marginalized community deserves nothing more than to be treated with respect and dignity but unfortunately, it is not always the case in Pakistan.
Julie's case continues to linger even though she is now out on bail. The outspoken trans activist was arrested in Islamabad last week in what people believed to be a 'fabricated case' against her.

Julie also spoke up after her release and thanked everyone for their support and love. One of the main concerns was that she was being held in an all-men prison which would have put her life at risk. Thankfully, she is out on bail now and awaits a full acquittal.
"I will make sure to stand against injustice and I will keep fighting. If you kill me, I will leave behind so many supporters that they will never end."
