Tayyaba Raja, a Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) worker imprisoned in the Jinnah House arson case, has been released from Kot Lakhpat Jail following a ruling by the Lahore High Court’s two-member panel.
A two-member court of the Lahore High Court granted her release, ending her stint in prison for the Jinnah House arson case.
Ms. Raja was arrested in May 2023, accused of taking part in the burning of the Governor’s House in Lahore, commonly known as Jinnah House, amid protests following the PTI’s ouster. She maintained her innocence and denied involvement in the incident.
The news of her release has provided solace to her family and supporters, who had been campaigning for her release.
