Over 120 Imran Khan supporters who had been detained in Punjab province as a result of violent protests that broke out after the former prime minister’s detention on May 9 were ordered to be released by a Pakistani court on Saturday.
The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party’s 123 employees must be released immediately, according to a ruling from the Lahore High Court (LHC).
In response to a petition submitted by PTI leader Farrukh Habib calling for the release of the party activists who had been arrested, Justice Anwarul Haq of the LHC gave the instructions, according to the Dawn daily.
