   LHC seeks report on Aleema Khan's detention under MPO

   Most outlets reported that the Lahore High Court (LHC) sought a response from Punjab’s home secretary regarding a petition challenging Aleema Khan’s detention under the Maintenance of Public Order (MPO) Act. The Express Tribune added that the court declined to suspend the detention order and directed a written application for family and counsel access ahead of a September 28 review. Geo News noted that Aleema’s son filed the petition and that a lawyer argued the detention order was unlawful. Pakistan Observer and Daily Times provided similar framing, with the latter omitting mention of the legal arguments. Dawn included a partial sentence but did not elaborate on the petition’s content or the court’s reasoning.
