The Lahore High Court (LHC) has ordered the release of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf leader Sher Afzal Marwat.

Justice Shahram Sarwar Chaudhry heard an application challenging the detention orders of Sher Afzal Marwat.

The court had sought responses from all the parties. The petition had argued that Marwat was detained illegally. Soon after the orders of release, #SherAfzalMarwat started trending on X.
