   Lahore High Court halts expulsion of Afghan medical students

   Most outlets reported that the Lahore High Court (LHC) ordered a temporary halt to the expulsion of Afghan medical students from Punjab colleges, with several noting the court’s decision to suspend PMDC directives. Many headlines and excerpts emphasized the LHC’s restraining order against expulsions and cancellation of exams, while a few, like 24 News HD and the Associated Press of Pakistan, specifically highlighted the suspension of the government’s repatriation directive.

Overall, the framing was consistent in reporting the court’s intervention, though slight variations in emphasis were present.
