description: "Most outlets reported that the Islamabad High Court (IHC) addressed appeals filed by Imaan Mazari and Hadi Ali Chattha against an anti-terrorism court’s decision to frame charges against them. Dawn and Business Recorder provided slightly more context, mentioning the rejection of their petitions by the anti-terrorism court. Associated Press of Pakistan and Pakistan Today focused on the IHC issuing notices and seeking responses to the appeals, while Minute Mirror simply noted that the court heard the appeals. Overall, the framing was consistent across outlets, with variations in the level of detail provided."
