LAHORE: A provincial review board on Friday dismissed the government’s plea to extend the detention of banned Tehreek-i-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) chief Saad Rizvi.
The three-member board consisted of Justice Malik Shahzad Khan, Justice Aalia Neelum and Justice Sadaqat Ali Khan. Rizvi was produced before the board at the Lahore High Court (LHC) on the expiry of his 90-day detention period.
The government officials assisted the board during in-camera proceedings and requested for the extension in detention of the TLP chief. The board also dismissed an application for the extension in detention of Saad’s party activists, identified as Usman and Wazir Ali.
A large number of police personnel were deployed at the LHC and surrounding areas during the board proceedings. Saad Rizvi was arrested in April after his party carried out violent protests across the country which left at least three policemen dead and hundreds injured. The group was subsequently proscribed as a terror group.
