The Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Tuesday termed Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leaders Shireen Mazari and Senator Falak Naz’s detention as ‘unlawful’ and ordered authorities concerned to release them immediately.

Her arrest comes after a series of arrests of several other PTI leaders,Asad Umar, Fawad Chaudhry, Shah Mehmood Qureshi, Ali Mohammad Khan, and Senator Ejaz Chaudhry following three-day mayhem in several cities of the country after the arrest of deposed premier Imran Khan in Al Qadir Trust case.
IHC Justice Mian Gul Hasan Aurangzeb heard the plea filed by PTI leaders’ councils and after hearing arguments he issued the aforementioned verdict.
