The Lahore High Court (LHC) was approached on Thursday for the release of the PTI leaders arrested in connection with the 'Jail Bharo Tehreek'.

PTI leaders Shah Mahmood Qureshi, Asad Umar, Azam Swati and others had produced themselves before the police for the arrests on Wednesday. Police arrested nearly 90 activists on the launch of the movement.

Qureshi's son Zain Qureshi filed a petition that his father had been illegally detained and his whereabouts were not known. The petition has sought the LHC's intervention in the release of the PTI leader.

Justice Shahram Sarwar Chaudhry will hear the petitions of arrested PTI leaders on Friday (tomorrow).

You do know that jail bharo doesn't mean signing up for torture?

Qureshi’s son Zain and others moved to the LHC for the recovery of the PTI leaders.
The government made a move against the Jail Bharo Tehreek by shifting the PTI leaders to different jails of Punjab. Azam Swati was shifted to Rahim Yar Khan’s district jail.
The PTI activists tried to stop the prison van transporting Azam Swati in which three workers including a woman sustained injuries.
Following the incident, PTI workers staged a protest outside the jail and chanted slogans against the government.

Government should make use of the settlement camps created during pandemic to deal with these miscreants.

I suspect that it would take 2 years to get them 'processed'.
