SHC orders provision of medical treatment to MQM-L leader

Author: Staff Report

KARACHI: The Sindh High Court has again directed the superintendent of Central Prison Karachi to provide medical treatment to an ailing Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) London leader incarcerated under MPO.

This direction came on a petition filed by Naz Khalid Kunwar, the wife of MQM leader Kunwar Khalid Younus Ali Khan, who moved the high court seeking his release and provision of medical facilities to her ailing husband.

The provincial police chief placed on record the copy of the order regarding detention of the MQM leader under MPO. Petitioner, Naz, had submitted that the Rangers personnel had arrested her spouse along with other MQM leaders from outside the Karachi Press Club on October 21 when they were going to address a press conference. Later, she said, she came to know through media that her spouse was detained with other leaders under MPO.
