The Lahore High Court on Wednesday issued an order restraining the arrest of PTI activist Alia Hamza in any new cases until August 29. The provincial apex court has directed the petitioner’s lawyer to submit the necessary bail bond. During the hearing, LHC Justice Ali Baqir Najafi emphasized that Alia Hamza should not be arrested in any new case without the explicit permission of the high court. The LHC has also called for a detailed report from the attorney general in the next hearing. The petition was filed by Alia Hamza’s husband, who sought to prevent further arrests of his wife.
