Daily Times July 3, 2021 The Lahore High Court (LHC) on Friday dismissed a government plea to extend the detention of Saad Rizvi, head of the banned Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP). The three-member review board comprised Justice Malik Shahzad Ahmad Khan, Justice Aalia Neelum and Justice Sadaqat Ali Khan. Rizvi was produced before the board on expiry of his 90-day detention period. Government officials assisted the board during in-camera proceedings while requesting an extension. The board also dismissed an application by the Punjab Home Department to extend the detention of TLP activists Usman and Wazir Ali. A large police contingent was present at the entry and exit gates of the LHC as Rizvi was being presented before the court. Entry to court premises was also barred. Hundreds of TLP workers showered their leader with rose petals as soon as he disembarked from the police van. They also raised slogans defending the party.
