Pakistan has added the names of 23 citizens to the passport control list (PCL) due to their alleged involvement in an attack on the former Chief Justice of Pakistan, Qazi Faez Isa, in London.
As reported by The News, among those listed are PTI leaders Maleeka Bokhari and Shayan Ali, known for their protests outside the residence of PML-N leader Nawaz Sharif. Bokhari had previously left the country with court approval to care for her sister, a cancer patient.
