A Pakistani court in Lahore blocks an expulsion of Afghan medical students ordered by the country’s medical board. Multiple reports say the Lahore High Court has extended a stay order preventing the removal of more than 100 students from medical colleges and universities until the next hearing.
The outlets describe the case as a legal challenge to the medical board’s decision, with the court maintaining the status quo while proceedings continue. The reports do not provide details on the medical board’s stated reasons for expulsion or the students’ specific arguments, but both accounts agree the court intervention is temporary pending further review.
One outlet frames the development as an extension of an existing stay order, while another describes it as the court stopping the expulsion action. Both present the same core point: the expulsion does not proceed as planned because the Lahore High Court has issued a block pending a later hearing.
