Pakistan court allows Imran Khan’s aides Shehryar Afridi, Shandana Gulzar to go home

Islamabad, 16/8:The Islamabad High Court on Wednesday allowed two aides of jailed former Pakistan prime minister Imran Khan to go home as it heard their pleas against prolonged detentions under the Maintenance of Public Order (MPO) ordinance, a media report said.

Shehryar Afridi and Shandana Gulzar, the two leaders of Khan’s Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party, were held by the police in connection with the May 9 violence that erupted following the former prime minister’s arrest in a corruption case.
