ATC orders blocking of 24 PTI leaders' passports in Nov 26 protest case
Most outlets reported the anti-terrorism court’s order to block the passports of 24 PTI lawmakers and leaders, including Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi, and noted the connection to a case related to the November 26 protest. A few outlets, such as The Express Tribune and Geo News, added that an investigating officer or a judge mentioned the concern that PTI leaders could flee the country to avoid legal proceedings. While most headlines focused on the action itself, some, like Pakistan Observer, briefly linked the move to an upcoming protest. Overall, the framing remained consistent, with slight variations in emphasis on the legal context and potential intent.
