Pakistan
30-day detention under MPO 3 is illegal: husband
LAHORE (Dunya News) - Jehanzeb Amin, husband of Khadijah Shah, a supporter of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), on Saturday challenged his wife's detention order in the Lahore High Court.
The federal government and the Lahore deputy commissioner were made parties in the case.
Ms Shah was placed under house arrest by the DC on the pretext that she could create law and order situation. She has been detained for 30 days under Maintenance of Public Order (MPO) 3.
