ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Mian Abbad Farooq was released from Kot Lakhpat Jail, after the conclusion of legal proceedings and a court verdict upheld his sentence.

Farooq was serving a two-year prison sentence related to the May 9 incidents, facing charges of arson and sedition. His release came after a comprehensive judicial review confirmed the completion of his sentence.

During his imprisonment, Farooq endured a personal tragedy, as his young son died of illness, a loss that came while the PTI leader remained behind bars.

An emotional scene unfolded outside the jail as party workers and family members gathered to welcome him. Supporters chanted slogans, showered flower petals and hailed his release as a moment of justice and determination.
