LAHORE – The Lahore High Court on Saturday ordered the release of 17 women workers of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), including former Punjab health minister Dr Yasmin Rashid.
LHC’s Justice Safdar Saleem Shahid announced the ruling on petition filed against the detention of the PTI workers and leaders.
