PESHAWAR: A member of the Christian minority kept in the Peshawar Central Prison on Wednesday moved the high court seeking his release from the prolonged ‘illegal’ detention.
In the petition, Shakeel Masih claimed that he had been imprisoned for around 10 years without trial, while the records of his alleged crime and detention had been missing from the documents of the relevant court in Khyber tribal district.
He requested the court to declare his detention illegal, unconstitutional and against his basic rights.
