IHC Orders Meeting Between PTI Founder and Sister in Detention Case 24

The Islamabad High Court (IHC) issued an order on October 11, 2024, allowing the founder of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) to meet his sister. The court’s decision came as part of an ongoing legal case concerning the detention of the political leader. The PTI founder has been in custody following charges related to his party’s involvement in anti-state activities.

In its ruling, the IHC directed the authorities to facilitate the meeting between the PTI leader and his sister, citing the need for family interaction during his time in detention. Legal experts believe this ruling could pave the way for further developments in the case, as the PTI founder’s legal team is actively pursuing his release.

The political figure’s detention has stirred debates over human rights and political freedom in Pakistan. The IHC’s decision to allow family meetings is being seen as a small but significant development, reflecting the court’s attention to humane treatment in custody cases. The next court hearing in the case is expected to take place later this month.
