The Lahore High Court (LHC) has ordered the release of 123 Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) workers who were arrested in connection with May 9 protests following the arrest of party chairman Imran Khan.
Justice Anwarul Haq heard PTI leader Farrukh Habib’s plea who sought the release of detained party activists.
The PTI leader’s lawyer told the court that all of the prisoners are political activists.
The court directed the government to release them without delay.
The workers were arrested from Faisalabad and are currently detained in different jails throughout Punjab.
